TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

   COMES NOW, Carl Anthony Wilson, Appellant-Petitioner, pro se and files

this motion asking this Honorable Court to suspend Rule 9.3(b)(1) requiring
11 copies of a petition for discretionary review be filed, under Rule 2 of

Tex. R. App. Pro. for good cause.

and 11 copies of a petition for discretionary review with this Honorable Cou

rt. Petitioner is an incarcerated, pro se litigant whom does not have access

to a copying machine in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

    It would be unduly burdensome to require a petitioner incarcerated that

does not have access to a copying machine to file 11 copies of the petition.
Good cause exists for this Honorable Court to suspend the required 11 copies

of the petition.

    Petitioner asks that this Honorable Court allow him to file only an ori-

                                      1.
ginal of the petition, and a copy to each party as required by the rules.

                                    PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Petitioner prays that this Honorable Court sus
pend Tex. R. App. Pro. 9.3(b)(1), allowing him to only file an original of the
petition with this Court. Petitioner also prays for any other relief that is
just and equitable.

                                                 Respectfully Submitted,

                            CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
