TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

      The State Prosecuting Attorney respectfully submits its motion to extend the

time for filing its Petition for Discretionary Review.

      Pursuant to Rule of Appellate Procedure 68.2(c), the State moves to extend the

time for filing its petition until February 15, 2015—30 days after the current due date

of January 16, 2015. No previous motions to extend the deadline for filing have been

filed. This is a mandatory blood-draw case that will be controlled by the Court’s

ruling on the pending motion for rehearing in State v. Villarreal, No. PD-0306-14.
Given the unique procedural circumstances implicated here, counsel believes that the

interests in judicial economy warrant granting an extension so that it can be

determined whether the filing of a petition for discretionary review is necessary.

Additionally, counsel needs additional time to review the record and draft the

petition.
      WHEREFORE, the State prays that its motion to extend the time for filing its

petition for discretionary review until February 15, 2015, be granted.

                                             Respectfully submitted,

                                             Lisa C. McMinn
