\ JEFFREY D. KYLE /

Being such, and pursuant to Rule 10.5(b)(1), Appellant will state for the record that:

(A) The deadline for filing this request for an extension of time to file a motion for rehearing is September 6, 2015;

(B) Appellant requests atleast ninety (90) days extension because Appellant has to attempt to advocate for himself now to this Court;

(C) Appellant can only entertain and research in the unit law library during his off-duty hours which is approx. ten (lO)hours per week unless he can show that he has a deadline directly from a state or federal court warranting extra time.

Appeals has decided an important question of law that conflicts

with another court of appeals and the Court of Criminal Appeals

on the same issue.
