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

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS: COMES NOW, DAVID SAMARIPAS JR. ,Petitioner, and filees this ®e> Motion for an Extension of Sixty Days -60- in which to file a Petition for Discretionary Review. In support of this motion Appeallant will show the Court the following:

1- The petitioner was convicted in the Brazos County Court, 272nd District, for the offense of Engaging in Organized Crime. Styled:STATE OF TEXAS VS DAVID SAMARIPAS JR. The Petitioner appealed to the 10th Court of Appeals, but was later transferred to the 13th Circuit pursuant to a docket, equalization order issued by the Supreme Court of Texas. This case was affirmed on April 30th., 2015.

•2. • The present deadline for filing the Petition for Discretio nary Review is May 30th, 2015. The Petitioner has not requested any extension prior to this request,

3. Petitioners request for an Extension is based upon the follov/ing facts: Petioner was not informed of the Court of Appeals affirming until May S-th, 2015. Although appeallant attorney did mail letter in timely fashion the T.D.C.J, mail room did not get letter to petitioner until the :8i.th., it was certified and I had to sign. Furthermore in this letter, petitioners attorney, Mr. Richard Wetzel informed petitioner that this letter would conclude his representation, and he would not be filing a PDR on appeallants behalf. Petitioner is attempting., along with the help of his Family, to obtain legal representation in this matter Petitioner has since mailed out numerous letters, and is awaiting responses,, and to hear from Family on phone calls they've made. Petitioner has no formal schooling, training, skills, or expertise in the law, or the appeal process. It is simply taking some time to find a lawyer within petitioners Family's budget, and communication from prison to outside world has taken up chunks of the time allowed.

& *f (£> WHEREFORE, all things considered , Petitioner PRAYS this HONORABLE COURT -GRANT- this Motion and EXTEND the deadline for filing this Petition for Discretionary Review in Cause No: 13-11-00442-CR., to the SIXTY DAYS requester
