THE STATE OF TEXAS                            §

                     MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE PDR

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THIS COURT:

         Appellant Andrew Olevia Jones moves the Court for an extension of time to file

his petition for discretionary review until and including June 13, and shows:

      1. In cause number 01-14-00501-CR, the First Court of Appeals affirmed Mr.
         Jones’s conviction on April 14, 2015. The deadline to file the petition for
         discretionary review is May 14, 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, or May 14, 2015.

      2. Mr. Jones has made no previous requests for extension.

      In view of the foregoing, Mr. Jones moves the Court to extend the time to file his

petition for discretionary review until and including June 14, 2015.

                                    Respectfully submitted,
                                    Alexander Bunin
