FIRST MOTION FOR 30-DAY EXTENSION OF TIME FOR 

FILING PETITOIN FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW 

 

COMES NOW, the appellant, Arthur Franklin Miller, Jr., by and through his attorneys of 

record, Jay Ethington and Cody L. Skipper, and files this his motion to extend time for filing 

Petition for Discretionary Review and in support of said motion will make known to the Court 

the following: 

I.

 The Court of Appeals overruled the timely Motion for Rehearing on June 19, 2015. The 

Petition for Discretionary Review is now due on July 20, 2015. However, due to unforeseen 

intervening circumstances, defense counsel is required to request a 30 day extension of time in 

which to prepare and file the Petition for Discretionary Review. 

II. 

 Both counsel have just recently experienced unavoidable, significant interruptions in their 

professional work schedule such that additional time is now necessary to properly prepare and 

present the appropriate Petition for Discretionary Review. 

WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Jay Ethington and Cody L. Skipper 

request a 30-day extension to file this Petition for Discretionary Review in the above-titled and 

numbered cause. No previous extensions have been requested or granted. 

 Respectfully Submitted, 

x
