                                                                            AbPl Acosts CiGrk
     The present deadline for filing the Petition for Discretionary Review is           '

this request.

                                         III.

     Petitioner requests an extension based on the following facts: Petitioner
is not a lawyer or paralegal and is not represented by counsel. Therefore it
takes extra time to utilize the Unit law library at two hours per day to
research the issues to be raised on the PDR.

     WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays this Court will grant this motion and extend
the deadline for filing the Petition for Discretionary Review in this Cause.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,
