RE:    Motion to Extend time for filing PDR

Dear    Clerk,

      Please find my Motion to extend time "with certificate of
service."        I filed a Motion to extend time but I failed to provide
proper service.
      I have not recieved notice as to: whether, th.a.t motion.. t.o. .ex.t.e.nd_
time was granted or denied because I did'nt provide service? So
I am filing this "correct" motion with proper service just in case
If my other motion was granted please do not file this one as it
would be redundant.        But if my other motion was denied because of
incomplete service, please file this moiton immediately.
      Thank you for your time and attention in ths matter.             I look
forward to your timely response.

                                                       Respectfully,

                                                        Benito Garza    £/
