                                    v.

                  _____________________________________

             MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
           PRO SE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
                   ______________________________

      TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL

APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Kristen Jernigan, the undersigned attorney of record for

Edward Guzman, the Appellant, herein, and files this Motion for Extension of

Time to File Pro Se Petition for Discretionary Review. As set out below, the

undersigned respectfully requests a sixty-day extension so that Appellant can file

his Pro Se Petition for Discretionary Review.     In support of said motion, the

undersigned would show the Court the following:

      1.    Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is currently due in this
case on June 12, 2015.
      2.     Appellant seeks an extension of sixty days in which to file his Petition
for Discretionary Review, making his Petition due on or before August 11, 2015.

       3.     The undersigned counsel will not be representing Appellant after the
filing of this motion. Appellant will now have to obtain and review the record in
order to prepare and file a Pro Se Petition for Discretionary Review. The
undersigned believes that there is insufficient time between now and June 12,
2015, to accomplish those goals. Consequently, the undersigned respectfully
requests that the Court grant Appellant the additional time.

       4.     The undersigned has not filed any previous motions for extension of
time in this case.

       5.   For the reasons set forth above, the undersigned respectfully requests
that Appellant be granted an extension of sixty days so that his brief in this case
will now be due on August 11, 2015.

                                     PRAYER

           WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned

respectfully requests that this Court grant this Motion for Extension of Time to File

Pro Se Petition for Discretionary Review.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
