ANDREW OLEVIA JONES                            §

vs.                                            §                 Case No. 01-14-00501-CR

THE STATE OF TEXAS                             §

                  MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE PETITION
               FOUR DAYS AFTER LAST DAY TO FILE PETITION

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THIS COURT:
         Appellant Andrew Olevia Jones moves the Court for leave to file his Petition for

Discretionary Review on June 19, 2015; the Petition is being filed simultaneously with

this motion.

      1. In cause number 01-14-00501-CR, the First Court of Appeals affirmed Mr.
         Jones’s conviction on April 14, 2015. The deadline to file the petition for
         discretionary review was June 15, 2015. Rule 68.2(c) of the Texas Rules of
         Appellate Procedure provides that the Court may extend the time to file the
         petition if a motion to extend is filed no later than 15 days after the last day for
         filing the petition

      2. Mr. Jones has made one previous request for extension.

      In view of the foregoing, Mr. Jones moves the Court to permit him to file his petition

for discretionary review until and including June 19, 2015.

            June 19, 2015
                                        Respectfully submitted,
