       COMES NOW, Paul Antwann Harlan, TDCJ #1969190, "Petitioner/* pro se, and
files this Motion to Suspend Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 9.3, the requ
irement for eleven (11) copies of a petition to be filed. Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure Rule 2 states as follows: "On a party's motion or on its own initiative
an Appellate Court may - to expedite a decision or for other good cause - suspend
a rule of operation in a particular case and order a different procedure ..." In
support of this motion, Petitioner shows this Honorable Court the following:

                                                 I.

       The Petitionerwas convicted in.'the 4th District Court of Dallas County,
Texas, of the offense"of Aggravated Robbery, with a deadly weapon, in Cause No.
F13-56882-K, styled State of Texas vs. Paul Antwann Harlan. The Petitioner is

                                              II •

       Petitioner's request to suspend Rule 9.3 is based upon the following facts:
Texas Department of Criminal Justice does not allow copies to be made for a fee or
otherwise. The Petitioner has no means of being able to acquire the required (11)
copies of the Petition, as he is not afforded the luxury of a copy machine and
must do everything by hand; which could be lenghty and time consuming, affecting
the timeliness of Petitioner's filing of his Petition for Discretionary Review.

                                            PRAYER;

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court will
GRANT this motion and suspend Rule 9.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,
allowing Petitioner to proceed upon filing one copy of his Petition with the Court.

        I, Paul Antwann Harlan, TDCJ #1969190, being presently incarcerated at the
French M. Robertson Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Jones Cou
nty, Texas; hereby verfiy and declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing
statements are both true and correct, as well as offered in good faith.
