conviction. Manuel Pena v. State, 13-14-00175. Counsel for Appellant filed a

Motion to Extend Time to File Petition for Discretionary Review. This petition is

therefore due on August 26, 2015.

      2.     After careful review of the appellate court's decision and the facts of

the case, Counsel for Appellant determined that a Petition for Discretionary

Review was not justified in this case.

      4.     Appellant disagrees with Counsel and wishes to proceed pro se.
      5.     Appellant is incarcerated.

      WHEREFORE,          PREMISES          CONSD3ERED,        appellant respectfully

requests an extension of 30 days, i.e. until September 25, 2015, to file a petition for

discretionary review.

                                          Respectfully submitted,

                                          Manuel Pena
