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

  TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

          NOW COMES, the Appellant, HENRY ANDRE WINZER, and moves for an extension of

  time to file the Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review in this case, and in support thereof

  would show the following:

                                                       I.

          a.      This case is pending below in the 422nd District Court of Kaufman County, Texas
                  under Cause No. 14-00334-422-F, styled State of Texas v. Henry Andre Winzer. It is
                  also pending in the Dallas Court of Appeals under case number 05-14-01079-CR.

          b.      Appellant was convicted of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and
                  sentenced to 5 years imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The
                  judgment date was July 30, 2014. On August 18, 2015, the Court of Appeals affirmed
                  the conviction.

          c.      The deadline for filing the Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review was
                  September 17, 2015.

          d.      Appellant requests an extension until October 17, 2015, to file the Petition for
                  Discretionary Review.

          e.      The reason for this request is that during the last few weeks counsel has been
                  working on the following:

                  1.       Filing of Petition for Writ of Certiorari in Robert Blake Adams v. William
                           Stephens, Director, TDCJ-ID, with the United States Court of Appeals.
