       MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S PETITION
                     FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

 TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

        NOW COMES NOEL CAMPBELL, the Petitioner herein, by and through

 undersigned counsel, and moves the Court for an extension of time to file his Petition for

 Discretionary Review in this cause pursuant to Rule 68.2(c) of the Texas Rules of Appellate

                                               I.

        The Appellant’s appeal was denied by the 13th Court of Appeals in the case of Noel

 Campbell vs. The State of Texas, cause number 13-14-00403-CR, from trial court cause

 number 14-CR-0429-B in the 117th Judicial District Court of Nueces County, on August 31,

 2015. The Appellant filed a request for an extension of time to file a Motion for Rehearing

 En Banc which was granted extending the time for filing until October 30, 2015. Appellant's

 Motion for Rehearing was denied on November 10, 2015.

                                               II.

        Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 68.2(a), the Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review
is therefore due December 10, 2015.

                                             III.

       The Appellant hereby requests an extension of time to file Appellant's Petition for

Discretionary Review, and would show unto the Court that sixty (60) additional days will be

sufficient to allow the completion of said Petition, until February 8, 2016.

                                             IV.

       No previous extensions of time have heretofore been requested or granted.

                                             V.

       Counsel delivered her baby December 7, 2015, two weeks earlier than expected.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned counsel, on behalf

of Petitioner, respectfully prays that this Honorable Court extend the time for filing a

Petition for Discretionary Review in this cause until February 8, 2016.

                                   Respectfully Submitted,
