PD-1093-15 PD-1093-15 COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS August 25, 2015 Transmitted 8/21/2015 12:41:03 PM Accepted 8/25/2015 4:14:36 PM ABEL ACOSTA PD-_______________ CLERK IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (Appeal No. 10-14-00201-CR)

YALANDA RENEE LIND, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS Appellee

APPELLANT’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING A PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

NOW COMES YALANDA RENEE LIND, Appellant, by and through

undersigned counsel, pursuant to Rules 68.2(c) and 10.5 of the Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure and requests that this Court grant Appellant a 30-day extension

for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review (“PDR”) herein, and for cause would

show as follows.

The Tenth Court of Appeals issued its opinion, affirming Appellant’s

conviction and sentence on July 23, 2015. Appellant’s PDR is presently due August

24, 2014.

Appellant was apparently hospitalized and did not advise that she wished to

have a PDR filed until August 6, 2015. Counsel just finished appellate briefs in State of Texas v. Robert Kenneth Peters, Appeal No. 10-15-00151-CR in the Tenth Court

of Appeals, and United States v. Hector Hipolito-Valerio, Appeal No. 15-50418 in

the Fifth Circuit. Counsel thus has not had time to complete the PDR herein.

No previous extensions have been requested.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, undersigned counsel requests

that the filing deadline for a PDR in this matter be extended through September 23,

2015.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ John A. Kuchera John A. Kuchera 210 N. 6th St. Waco, Texas 76701 (254) 754-3075 (254) 756-2193 (facsimile) SBN 00792137 johnkuchera@210law.com Attorney for Appellant Certificate of Service
