            MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO "FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING"

       TO THE HONORABLE SAID:

        Now Comes, Jorge V. Porras, Applicant, pro-se, in the above styled and numbered cause

files his "Motion for Extension of Time to 'File Motion for Rehearing,'" and will respectfully show

the Court the following:

                                                   I

       Applicant's 11.07 Writ of Habeas Corpus was denied without written order on January 14,

2015. The Court of Criminal Appeals mailed it out to the Applicant on January 15, 2015 in which

the unit mailroom received it on the 16th of January and the unit mail room issued a pass for

Applicant to pick up legal mail on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 due to Monday January 19, 2015

being Martin Luther King holiday.

                                                   II

        It would be a grave miscarriage of justice if the applicant's 11.07 is not re-heard because

1) all affidavits and police report plus an FBI affidavit pointes to the real person and that the

applicant was just there, 2) because a capital case, you cannot waive your rights to a jury trial

therefore applicant's judgment and sentence is void and null, 3) because of number 2 it is implied

that only a jury trial finds you guilty in a capital case, therefore, no confession or the trial judge
is sufficient   enough to support a conviction on a capital case. Only a jury can find you guilty

therefore applicant's confession is no good to support a conviction on a capital case. Also there

is no evidences to support the conviction in fact the affidavits, police report, and FBI affidavit

pointed to the real person who committed the death of the victims. The applicant was just only

at the same house with others. What's funny is that the one that cause the death was never

charge for capital murder.

                                             PRAYER

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant prays that this Motion be granted. For

this the Applicant will pray.

                                                                       a
