MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT:

      COMES NOW Elias Esequiel Vasquez, Appellant in the above styled

cause, and files this motion for extension of time to file his PDRs, and

would show this Court the following:

      At 2:00 a.m. on February 18, 2015, the Undersigned filed an

appellant’s brief in the Thirteenth Court of Appeals in the case of State v.

Chakravarthy, Cause No. 13-14-00086-CR. Its record consisted of over

8,000 pages and the brief contained over 9 issues, plus sub-parts. At 4:00

a.m., the Undersigned had to go to Austin to attend a mandatory training

for Independent Hearing Examiners for the Texas Education Agency. The

Undersigned stayed in Austin the rest of that week taking care of sundry

business matters. The Undersigned returned from Austin on February 22,

2015. Up to today, the Undersigned has been catching up with her many

other cases that were put on the back burner until the aforementioned brief

was filed. As such, Appellant seeks an extension of time to file this PDR to

this day, February 27, 2015.

      WHEREFORE, Appellant prays that this Court grant his motion for

extension of time to file his PDRs.
                                    Respectfully submitted,
