               WITHDRAWAL OF PORTION OF ARGUMENT

      In the State’s original Reply to Shearer’s Petition for Discretionary Review,

the State asserted Shearer’s petition to this Honorable Court was untimely. The

State has since learned that although Shearer requested a thirty-day extension in

this request, this Honorable Court granted a sixty-day extension. As a result,

Shearer’s petition was due on May 22, 2015, and the filing was not untimely.

      The State’s argument regarding the untimeliness of Shearer’s petition is

therefore without merit. The State respectfully withdraws said argument and

regrets the oversight which led to this error.

      The State respectfully withdraws its argument regarding the untimeliness of

Shearer’s Petition for Discretionary Review. The State maintains its positions

otherwise stated in its reply and requests the Court refuse Shearer’s Petition.

                                      PRAYER

      The State respectfully prays this Honorable Court refuse Shearer’s Petition

for Discretionary Review.
