                           MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO
                    FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

        Now comes Dustin Ryan Rhoades, 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 September 15TH, 2015, the Seventh Court of Appeals affirmed judgement

against Appellant in cause No. 07-13-00319-CR in the Court of Appeals for the Seventh District

of Texas at Amarillo. This petition is therefore due on October 15TH, 2015.

        2.     Counsel has been unable to complete the petition for the following reasons:

Counsel has been engaged in other appellate and felony trial matters that have precluded

adequate preparation on the matter before the Court.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant respectfully requests an

extension of 30 days, i.e. until November 16TH, 2015, to file a petition for discretionary review.

                                              Respectfully submitted,
