JONATHAN GLEN JOHNSON, Petitioner in the above cause number,

would respectfully request the Court to grant his motion to extend the time to file his

petition for discretionary review. In support of said motion, Appellant would show

unto the Court the following:

I.

This appeal lies from Appellant's convictions in The State of Texas v. Jonathan

Glen Johnson, Cause Numbers 1377006 and 1377007 in the 263rd District Criminal Court of Harris County, Texas. Mr. Johnson was charged in two separate

indictments with aggravated robbery. On November 7, 2013, he pled guilty, without

the benefit of a plea bargain, to both charges. On January 30, 2014, a sentencing V

hearing was held and at the conclusion of the hearing the court sentenced Mr. Johnson to fifteen (15) years confinement on both counts with the two sentences

running concurrendy. Notice of Appeal was timely filed on February 18, 2014. A motion for new trial was filed on March 3, 2014, but overruled by operation of law

without a hearing on April 15, 2014.

II.

Appellant is requesting an extension of time in order to fully evaluate the issues

to be raised in the PDR. An extension of time is necessary so that the petition for

discretionary review can be timely filed. This motion is not made for the purpose of

delay.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this

Honorable Court will grant this requested extension of time to file the Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review in the above cause for ninety days and extend the

time for filing the petition until July 8, 2015. Respectfully submitted,
