                                1
      COMES NOW, ADOLPH JUNIOR MENJIVAR, 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 05-14-01028-

CR, affirming the conviction, was rendered on November 4, 2015.

                                             II.

      The numbers and style of the case in the District Court is No. F1357185U,

State of Texas v. Adolph Junior Menjivar.

                                            III.

      Appellant was convicted of murder.

                                            IV.

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

matter is December 4, 2015.

                                             V.

      No extensions of time to file the brief were previously requested.

                                            VI.

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

working on the following:
