Appellee. | THIRD DISTRICT MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE A MOTION FOR REHEARING TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT: NOW COMES, Richard Lee Pollard, TDCJ-CID # 1934170, Appellant, pro se, and on his own behalf files this his own "Motion, for an Extension of Time to file a Motion for Rehearing," to this Most Honorable Court, and in so doing will show the following, to wit:
I. JURISDICTION This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter pursuant to the Tex. Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 49.8, where this Court may extend the time for filing a motion for rehearing if a party files a motion complying with Rule 10.5(b) no later than 15 days after the last date for filing the motion for rehearing.
Appellant's last date for filing his motion for rehearing was on August 21, 2015, placing Appellant well with the required fifteen (15) days after the last date to file a motion for rehear ing, pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) accordingly.
II. REASONING Appellant has learned that this Most Honorable Court rendered an opinion in this cause on August 6, 2015, affirming his conviction. Appellate was put on notice that "No substitute counsel will be appointed." Appellate is stranded and on his very own to understand and file for a motion for rehearing to this Most Honorable Court.
,/receivedN (Page -1-, motion) AUG 2 6 2015 THIRD COURT OFAPPEALS, \ JEFFREY D. KYLE /
Being such, and pursuant to Rule 10.5(b)(1), Appellant will state for the record that: (A) The deadline for filing this request for an extension of time to file a motion for rehearing is September 6, 2015; (B) Appellant requests atleast ninety (90) days extension because Appellant has to attempt to advocate for himself now to this Court;
(C) Appellant can only entertain and research in the unit law library during his off-duty hours which is approx. ten (lO)hours per week unless he can show that he has a deadline directly from a state or federal court warranting extra time. Appellate needs this extension to prepare and advocate properly; and,
(D) Appellant has never asked for an extension of time in this matter. Appellant plans to show where this Most Honorable Court of Appeals has decided an important question of law that conflicts with another court of appeals and the Court of Criminal Appeals on the same issue.
III. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant PRAYS that this Most Honorable Court GRANT this Motion for an Extension of Time to File a Motion for Rehearing allowing Appellant ninety (90) days to file because of his specific set of circumstances. In this Appellant will forever PRAY.
