respectfully request the Court to grant his motion to extend the time to file his

unto the Court the following:

                                          I.


      This appeal lies from Appellant's convictions in The State of Texas v. DanielJacob

Stiner, Cause Number 1290078 in the 177th District Criminal Court of Harris County,

Texas. Mr. Stiner was charged with the felony offense of capital murder on March

30, 2011. The State did not seek the death penalty. On December 4, 2013, he

entered a plea of not guilty and proceeded to trial by jury. On December 6, 2013, the
•i




 jury found Mr. Stiner guilty of capital murder as charged. Mr. Stiner received an

 automatic sentence by the trial court of life without parole. Appellant's Petition for

 Discretionary Review is due March 9, 2015. This is Appellant's first request for an

 extension to file the petition for discretionary review.

                                              II.


          Appellant is requesting an extension of time in order to fully evaluate the issues

 to be raised in the PDR. An extension of time is necessary so that the petition for

 discretionary review can be timely filed. This motion is not made for the purpose of

 delay.

          WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this

 Honorable Court will grant this requested extension of time to file the Appellant's

 Petition for Discretionary Review in the above cause for ninety days and extend the

 time for filing the petition until June 8, 2015.
