                                        MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME                                    y.q_\ {$ -{ \
                                TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

           TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

                   NOW COMES, CEDRIC CARLDWELL, the Appellant herein, and moves the Court for

           an extension of time to file Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review in this cause, pursuant

           to Rules 38.6 and 10.5 (b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and in support thereof

           would show the Court as follows:

                                                            I.

                   The Appellant in this cause was convicted in the 1241 District Court of Gregg County,

            Texas in cause number 42,773-B for the offense of Murder.

                                                           II.

                    The Court of Appeals' opinion on remand was delivered on October 13, 2015.

            Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review is due on or about December 14, 2015.

                                                           III.

                   The Appellant hereby requests a second extension of time to file Appellant's Petition for

            Discretionary Review.

                   The undersigned counsel has been unable to devote sufficient time to the review of the

            record, research and preparation of Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review for the
following good and sufficient reasons:

       Counsel for the defendant respectfully advises the Court that he still has medical

problems that would not allow him to be involved in court proceedings and is scheduled for

surgery on December 29, 2015 (see additional letter from Dr. William H. Rotzler attached).

       In addition to the above-listed matter, the undersigned counsel has been involved with a

very busy trial and appellate schedule and is involved in numerous other felony and

misdemeanor cases at various stages of litigation.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned counsel, on behalf of
Appellant, respectfully prays that this Honorable Court extend the time for filing Appellant's
Petition for Discretionary in this cause for an additional forty-five days, to January 28, 2016.

                                                            RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
