      The present deadline for filing the PDR is April 09th, 2015;

                                              III.


      Appellant's request for an extension is based on (1) Appellant

not being informed about the Court of Appeals affirming the case

until March £X^? , 2015, (2) Appellant's attempt, since learning
about the Court of Appeals decision,                       to gain legal representation
for his PDR since,               (3) Mr. Jason A. Duff (Appellant's appellate

counsel)          informed Appellant that he will NOT represent Appellant

extend the deadline for filing the PDR in this appeal.
