prior to this request.

   Petitioner request for an extention is based upon the following

facts:   Petitioner was not informed of the decision of the Court

to Unit transfers. Since that time Petitioner has been attempting

to gain legal representation in the matter. His attorney on the

appeal, Travis Berry, has informed Petitioner that he will not

represent him on the Petition for Discretionary Review.

extend the deadline for filing The Petition for Discretionary

Review in Case No's.   13-CR-1711-G and 14-CR-2951-G to May 21),

2015.
