   FOR FILING (OUT OF TIME) PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

  TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

        Now comes ADRIAN DESHAWN PATTON, Petitioner in the above

  captioned cause, and moves the Court to extend the time for filing Petitioner’s

  Petition for Discretionary Review and/or to file an out of time Petition for

  Discretionary Review, and in support of this Motion would show the following:

     1. Petitioner’s Petition for Discretionary Review is currently due on March 7,

        2015.

     2. Appointed Appellate Counsel inadvertently missed sending Appellant notice

        of his appellate deadlines with regard to filing of a PDR and a copy of the

        Court of Appeals’ Memorandum Opinion as called for under Rule 48.4.

     3. Given the lapse of the time for Appellant/Petitioner to receive the notice of

        deadlines and his ability to request the PDR timely, Appointed Appellate

        Counsel is filing this request for an extension of time/out of time PDR on Mr.
      Patton’s behalf, but is not otherwise making an appearance of counsel for the

      purposes of the filing or litigating of a PDR.

   4. For the foregoing reasons, undersigned Appellant/Petitioner Patton requests

      a 30 day extension from today’s date to complete his Petition for

      Discretionary Review.

   5. No previous extensions have been requested in this case.

   6. This request is not for delay, but so justice may be done.

   7. Contact information for future notices to Pro Se Appellant/Petitioner Adrian

      Deshawn Patton can be forwarded to:

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant/Petitioner prays that

the Court grant this Motion for Extension of Time and/or Out of Time PDR and all

other relief the Court deems fit.
