                       MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO
                FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

   TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

         Now comes Jacob Wesley Faudi, Appellant in the above styled and

   numbered cause, and moves for an extension of time of 30 days to file a petition

   for discretionary review, and for good cause shows the following:

         1.     On October 8, 2015, the Court of Appeals affirmed appellant's

   conviction. Jacob Wesley Faudi v. State, 2015 WL 5965362. This petition is

   therefore due on November 9, 2015.

         2.     Faudi needs additional time to prepare and submit his brief for

   consideration in this case. Appellate Counsel as a solo practitioner has been

   working on many cases including drafting and submitting the Petition for

   Discretionary Review in State v. Torres before this Honorable Court on 11/2/2015,

   preparing and submitting the brief in U.S. v. Dix, cause no. 14-51143 in the 5th

   Circuit Court of Appeals, and preparing for oral argument in U.S. v. Koss, cause

   no. 14-51173 in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals that is scheduled for 12/2/2015.
      3.     Defendant is currently incarcerated.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant respectfully

requests an extension of 30 days, i.e. until December 9, 2015, to file a petition for

discretionary review.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
