        2.        Appellant has indicated to the undersigned attorney that he wishes to

 file a Petition for Discretionary Review.            The undersigned attorney was

 Appellant’s court appointed attorney on appeal to the Court of Appeals.             The

 undersigned attorney is filing         this M otion so that Appellant can make

 arrangements to file his Petition for Discretionary Review w ith the Court of

 Criminal Appeals.       The undersigned is presently representing Appellant for the
limited purposes of filing this M otion. Appellant has been unable to complete the

driving over the road. He does not have the education or training to file his own

Petition for Discretionary Review.     Appellant has indicated to the undersigned

attorney that he is without funds to hire an attorney, but believes that he can raise

money within the month to hire an attorney.
