extension are, as follows: The-Appellant was represented by court
appointed counsel during the appeals of this case to the Court

of Appeals. After the conviction was affirmed, the trial court

refused to appoint counsel to file a Petition for Discretionary
Review. Therefore, additional time is needed for the Appellant
to either prepare and file the Petition pro se or to seek

legal assistance in filing the petition.

requests that this Honorable Court extend time for filing the
Petition for Discretionary review in this Cause to 3-17-2015.
