1 . This appeal is followed after an order from the Four^ggp^^,S|a Qet'k

     Court Of Appeals,      by the order of the Court                   the Petitioner has

     until February 7, 2015 to file a Petition For Discretionary

     Review.   This Motion for Extention of                   Time    is being mailed on

     January 25,    2015,   therefore it is timely filed.

2. Petitioner who is representing himself                       on    a pro se basis is

     allowed access to the prison law library only (10)                             hours per

     week which prevents him from completeing                        the necessary re

     search required-;to properly draft an adequate petition.

     Additionally,    and in the same vein,                  due to spontaneous,           ran-

.io dom lockdowns,     the Petitioner has been deprived of sufficient

     access to the law library.

3.   Petitioner asserts      that due to unusual                circumstances at           the

     Allred Unit,    in essence,       these circumstances have stagnated

     and has been overwhelmingly impedeing on the Petitioner's


                                       1 of      3
progress during the last thirty (30)          days plus,   the Petitioner

has been enduring episodes of lockdowns          in response to   inmates!

fighting, making alcohol,,inmates getting caught with dangerous

weopons and contraband,    all these mishaps in which are indepen

dent situations that have nothing        to with    the Petitioner's

conduct,   but yet and still,   the Petitioner is a victim of these

circumstances and has to suffer the consequences of            lockdown

through no fault of   his own. Furthermore,        The Allred Unit just

lifted the twenty-one (21) days bi-annual lockdown on January 3,

2015,   but the lockdowns have been ongoing        and continuous since

the lift due to the above mentioned conduct by various            inmates.

   These lockdowns most certainly hinder the Petitioner's pro-,

gress due to being allowed to recieve one case cite a day,             as

well as not being able to physically go to the law library to

conduct proper research.


                                CONCLUSION


   This is Petitioner's first request for an           extention of time

in this cause. This request is     not designed to harass the State,

nor to unnecessarily delay these proceedings,           but to ensure that

the Petitioner'has a timely oppurtunity to draft a proper Peti

tion for Discretionary Review. Accordingly,           the Petitioner moves

this Court by respectfully requesting an extention of sixty (60)

days up to and including March 25, 2015,           to file his Petition

For Discretionary Review.
