      COMES NOW, Bruce Anton, counsel for Applicant, Elmer Salmeron, in this

cause, and moves this court to issue an extension of time to file his findings of fact

and conclusions of law, and in support thereof would show the court as follows:

                                          I.

      This writ of habeas corpus is currently pending in the 194th District Court of

Dallas County, Texas. A bench warrant was issued for Applicant to appear at a

hearing March 6, 2015. After the hearing, counsel proposes to submit findings of fact

and conclusions of law in regard to Applicant’s claim that his plea was involuntary

and that which it deems relevant and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant’s

claim for habeas corpus relief.

                                         II.

      Counsel is diligently pursuing this matter, however, an additional 60 days is

required to complete the findings.

                                         III.

      No previous extensions have been requested.

                                         IV.

      The facts relied upon to show good cause for this request for extension are

recited above.
      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned attorney requests

this court to grant an extension of time of 60 days to file findings of fact and

conclusions of law.

                                             RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

                                               /s/ Bruce Anton
