 MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO FILE
  APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

        NOW COMES GERMAIN DAVIS, appellant in the above-captioned

cause, by and through his attorney, TERRENCE GAISER, and files his

Motion for Extension of Time Within Which to File Appellant’s Petition for

Discretionary Review; for which he would show:

1.) Appellant appeals from a judgment of guilt and sentence of life without

parole the offense of capital murder

2.) On September 24, 2015, a panel of the First Court of Appeals in Cause

No. 01-13-00947-CR, Germain Lawon Davis v. State of Texas, issued a

memorandum opinion affirming appellant’s conviction.            No motion for

rehearing was filed.. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is due

on Monday, October 26, 2015.           This is the first requested extension.

Appellant requests a thirty-day extension to and including November 26,

2015.

3.) This extension is being sought for the following reasons:
After fter careful review of the opinion of the Court of Appeals and the

transcript of this case, in counsel’s professional opinion, further review of

this case would be frivolous and without further merit.          Counsel has

informed appellant of his right to seek discretionary review, pro se, and will

inform appellant of this request for extension.

4.) Counsel will file a motion to withdraw as attorney of record in the First

Court of Appeals and will inform appellant, by copy of that motion.

       WHEREFORE, premises considered, appellant prays for an extension

of time to file appellant’s petition for discretionary review to and including

October 26, 2015.

                                       Respectfully Submitted,
