JEREMY TEAK PALMER                  §         OF APPEALS

                         MOTION TO RECONSIDER

      Now Comes Jeremy Teak Palmer, Appellate in the above entitled and

numbered cause and files this Motion to Reconsider the Court’s dismissal of his

appeal and would show as follows:

      1. On June 16, 2015 Appellate was sentenced to 16 years in TDC. At the

         time of Appellant’s sentencing John A. Olson was his court appointed

         attorney. Appellate desired to Appeal the court’s sentence and advised

         John A. Olson. The Notice of Appeal was due on July 16, 2015.

      2. John A. Olson failed to file a timely Notice of Appeal and subsequently

         filed one on August 12, 2015.

      3. On August 12, 2015 John A. Olson filed a Motion to Withdraw and the

         court granted same on August 20, 2015.

      4. On August 21, 2015 the Court appointed the undersigned counsel to

         represent Appellate.

      5. Counsel for Appellate has reviewed the pleadings and Motions filed in
   this cause, conferred with Appellant’s previous counsel John A. Olson

   and believes that Appellate was provided inadequate assistance of

   counsel by John A. Olson.

6. Appellate move the court that their Order of Dismissal be vacated and

   that this matter be returned to the trial court for a determination as to

   whether or not Appellate received inadequate assistance of counsel in the

   perfection of his appeal. Jack v. State 194 S.W.3 119.

      Wherefore, Appellate prays for the relief requested in this Motion.

                                 Respectfully submitted,
