      COMES NOW, OCZAVEONE JACKSON, Appellant herein, and moves

this court to issue an extension of time to file his petition for discretionary review,

and in support thereof would show the court as follows:

                                              I.

      The opinion of the Fifth Court of Appeals in cause number 05-14-00985-

CR, affirming the convictions, was rendered on June 25, 2015.

                                             II.

      The numbers and style of the case in the District Court is No. F-1260601-X,

State of Texas v. Oczaveone Jackson.

                                            III.

      Appellant was convicted of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and

sentenced to life imprisonment.

                                             IV.

      The present deadline for filing the petition for discretionary review in this

matter is July 25, 2015.

                                             V.

                                             VI.

      The reason for this request is that during the last few weeks counsel has been
