MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW __________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

Arturo Chavez, Appellant, moves this Court for a thirty-day extension of time to file his

petition for discretionary review. The court of appeals issued its opinion on May 28, 2015, making

a petition due on June 29, 2015. Counsel has been unable to complete a petition by the deadline

due to numerous conflicts in his schedule. The matter that has consumed much of counsel’s time

in the last thirty days is United State v. Robert Durst, No, 15-CR-091, In the United States District

Court, for the Eastern District of Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana. Counsel was responsible for

researching and drafting pretrial motions in that complex case. Counsel requests an additional

thirty days to prepare a petition on Appellant’s behalf.

June 29, 2015 Respectfully submitted,

DeGUERIN, DICKSON, HENNESSY & WARD
