MAX EDWARD WEBB, § 2-19'lT" Appellant On Petition for Review of v. No. 01-14-00200-CR § Court of Appeals § First District of Texas THE STATE OF TEXAS § Appellee

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

Appellant Max Edward Webb moves the Court for an extension of time to file

her petition for discretionary review until and including February 16, 2015, and shows:

1. In cause number 01-14-00200-CR, the First Court of Appeals affirmed Mr. Webb's conviction on December 15, 2014. The deadline to file the petition for discretionary review is January 15, 2015. Rule 68.2(c) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that the Court may extend the time to file the petition if a motion to extend is filed no later than 15 days after the last day for filing the petition.

2. Mr. Webb has made one request for extension.

3. Counsel began investigating and preparing for a motion for new trial in a murder case on December 23, 2014; counsel received the file 12 days into the 30-day period for filing the motion. The entire case needed to be reinvestigated and took up all of counsel's time before the deadline and a great deal of counsel's time after the deadline. The hearing on the motion is February 19, 2015. This has impeded counsel being able to meet this and other deadlines. FILED IN COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

February 17, 2015

ABELACOSTA, CLERK In view of the foregoing, Mr. Webb moves the Court to extend the time to file his

petition for discretionary review until and including March 18, 2015.

Respectfully submitted, Alexander Bunin Chief, Harris County Public Defender's Office
