       This Honorable Court recently set the deadline for filing
a direct appeals brief at the date of October 1, 2015.                             However, due
to exceptional circumstances,              the Appellant is requesting an addi
tional 90-days for the foregoing reasons;

***    The Appellant is a complete layman to law and all of it's
complicated rules and procedures, therefore asserting that he should
not be held to the exact same time constraints as a licensed Atty.

***    The Appellant recently discovered that his unit's law-library
uses a Shepardizing on-line system to gather cases for it's inmates,

                                     ( 1 of 2          )
this in itself is extremely time consuming and places the Appellant
in a disadvantaged position, whereas he's forced to wait days before
he can receive cases pertinent to composing his direct appeals brief.

***    The Appellant just received noticed from this Honorable Court
supplying him with a "Corrected Notice" letter, in which the Appell
ant was asked if his a) Reporters's Records; and b) Clerk's Records
were received in full.      In response, the Appellant is currently
investigating his records to determine if he possess a complete
file. / etc...

***    For these reasons, the Appellant is requesting additional time
to file his direct appeals brief.
