cause, and moves this court to issue an extension of time to file his findings of fact

and conclusions of law, and in support thereof would show the court as follows:

I.

This writ of habeas corpus is currently pending in the 292nd District Court of

Dallas County, Texas. An evidentiary hearing was held on January 8, 2015 and

counsel is waiting for the records to be completed. Once the records are available,

counsel proposes to submit findings of fact and conclusions of law in regard to

Applicant’s claim that he was denied to be present at the beginning of trial, denied a

public trial and received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial and that which it

deems relevant and appropriate to the disposition of Applicant’s claim for habeas

corpus relief.

II.

Counsel is diligently pursuing this matter, however, an additional 60 days is

required to complete the findings.

III.

No previous extensions have been requested in this matter.

IV.

The facts relied upon to show good cause for this request for extension are

recited above. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned attorney requests

this court to grant an extension of time of 60 days to file findings of fact and

conclusions of law.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
