TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

     Petitioner Shawn Mayreis respectfully moves the Court to waive the 11-copy

filing requirement of Tex.R.App.P. 9.3(b)(1).             He asks the Court to allow him

to file only one copy of his Petition for Discretionary Review (PDR), as

authorized by Tex.R.App.P.       2.

     This case is pending before the Court.            Mr. Mayreis1 PDR is due on June

copies under Tex.R.App.P. 9.3(b)(1).           The Texas Department of Criminal Justice

Correctional Institutions Division does not provide a copy machine at the

Connally Unit for inmates to use.          Mr. Mayreis does not have enough supplies

to prepare 11 copies of his PDR.          He cannot comply with Tex.R.App.P. 9.3(b)(1).

     Mr. Mayreis respectfully asks the Court to grant him permission to file

only one copy of his PDR.        He asks the Court to waive Tex.R.App.P. 9.3(b)(1)

and invoke Tex.R.App.P. 2.

     WHEREFORE, Petitioner Shawn Mayreis respectfully asks the Court to grant

this Motion.

   SUBMITTED and SUBSCRIBED on this the / Xday of May, 2015.
