RE; Motion to extend time ofr State's response due to delayed
service.

Dear Honorable      Clerk,

   Please find my motion to extend time for the State to file a
response to my Petition for Discretionary Review.            The address
mixup prevented the Prosecutor from getting a copy of my Petition.
As stated in the motion I have resent the copy of the Petition to
the State Prosecutor along with a copy of the motion to extend
time.   My lawyer did not give me "any" information regarding the
specifics of filing a PDR..        All he told me was that I could file
a petition.    I hope this has not caused undue delay or prejudiced
my Petition in any way.        Thank you for your time ^S^g^r^jteb^nitdn
this matter.                                          COURT OF CRMNAL APPEALS
