       Being       such,        and        pursuant              to     Rule        10.5(b)(1),       Appellant

will   now   state    for       the       record          that:

       (A) The       deadline              for filing this                    request for an extension

             of     time        to        file        a        motion for re-hearing is February

                   XC       ->->r2015.
       (B) Appellari'1T""^request                     at        least ninety (90) days extension

             because        Appellant                 has        to attempt to advocate for him-

             -fo "tzhis    Court.

       (C) Appellant             can           only        entertain and research in the unit

             Law     Library              during his off-duty hours which is approx

             imately ten (10)                   hours per week and needs this extension

             to prepare,             research and advocate properly,                               and;

       (D) Appellant             has           never           asked     for        an     extension of time

             in    this    matter.

       The     extension             of        time        is     not        designed,       nor any attempt

to harass,        delay or hinder the Court's calendar with these issues

substantial         intervening                 circumstances that require this Court's

power of supervision,                 they are:

       (1)   The Court of Appeals incorrectly decided that the opinion

             of a lay           witness           which           inferred           that     Appellant      was

             guilty        of        the        offense           charge        is admissable pursuant

             to    Tex.    Rules          of    Evidence,             Rule    701    and    704?

       (2) The       Court        of           Appeals made a ruling that directly con

             flicts        with        a        recent          decision            that    was    handed   down

             by    this most Honorable Court of Appeals in which appeal

             counsel did not cite or argue in the Petition for Discre

             tionary        Review.              Being          such,        this        Court     of Criminal

             Appeals        power          of      Supervision                 should        be     considered

                  and    implemented           in   order       to    allow Appellant a fair
                  hearing on his claim.

                                     III.     PRAYER FOR       RELIEF

        Wherefore,            Premises        Considering, Appellant prays that this
