TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

       Now comes Appellant, David Carl Swingle in said styled and numbered cause and files
this Motion for Extension of Time to File Clerk's/Reporter's Record. In support thereof,

Wherefore Premises Considered, Appellant respectfully moves the Fifth Court of Appeals

Appellant's indigence in the Writ of Mandamus.
