resented by court appointed counsel, C       Wayne Huff during the

appeal of this case to the Court;of Appeals.        To date,     Mr.Huff

has failed to provide copies of the Record on Appeal, Appellant's

to proceed pro se. Therefore additional time is needed to aquire

relevant documents and prepare and file the Petition.
