To the Honorable Justices of said Court:

      Appellant's appointed counsel file a brief in the above styled and numbered

cause pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

      Appellant filed a pro se request for access to the clerk's record and reporter's

record in preparation for use in preparing his pro se response to counsel's brief and

included a motion for extension of time to respond to counsel's Anders brief.

      This Honorable Court granted said extension which is set to expire on

November 2,2015.

      Appellant is in the transit to another Unit in safekeeping area and currently

confined in the Life Division of the Texas Department of Justice Center in

Huntsville Unit, and has suffered yet another epileptic seizure, caused scalp

laceration and became hospitalized at Huntsville Memorial Hospital on 9/29/2015

and was ordered by Doctor Windham to remove staples within 7 days (please see

attached hospital's report) during his period of extension and appeal response

filing. As a result, Appellant has become confused, disoriented, and has shown
      Due to Appellant's financial hardship to hire a private counsel, non-

accessible permission for any assistance due to past 50 day safety confinement,

now in transit to a new unit, recurring seizures, and incompetency mental

condition, Appellant now      respectfully requests the Court grant him another

Appellate Public Defender Bob Wicoff to substitute Public Defendant Crowley's

withdrawal and additional sixty (60) days from the granting of the motion to retain

another Appellate Public Defender or find an outside assistance and allow time for

that professional to help Appellant prepare and file a timely pro se response to

counsel's brief and a writ of Habeas Corpus as advised by Appellate         Public

Defender Crowley.

                                    Respectfully submitted,
