                            (Appeal No. 10-14-00201-CR)

  YALANDA RENEE LIND,                                               Appellant
  v.
  THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                Appellee

    APPELLANT’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING A PETITION
                  FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
  TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

          NOW COMES YALANDA RENEE LIND, Appellant, by and through

  undersigned counsel, pursuant to Rules 68.2(c) and 10.5 of the Texas Rules of

  Appellate Procedure and requests that this Court grant Appellant a 30-day extension

  for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review (“PDR”) herein, and for cause would

  show as follows.

          The Tenth Court of Appeals issued its opinion, affirming Appellant’s

  conviction and sentence on July 23, 2015. Appellant’s PDR is presently due August

  24, 2014.

          Appellant was apparently hospitalized and did not advise that she wished to

  have a PDR filed until August 6, 2015. Counsel just finished appellate briefs in State
of Texas v. Robert Kenneth Peters, Appeal No. 10-15-00151-CR in the Tenth Court

of Appeals, and United States v. Hector Hipolito-Valerio, Appeal No. 15-50418 in

the Fifth Circuit. Counsel thus has not had time to complete the PDR herein.

        No previous extensions have been requested.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, undersigned counsel requests

that the filing deadline for a PDR in this matter be extended through September 23,

2015.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

                                      /s/ John A. Kuchera
