*1 1 Benito Garza #1957561 COURT OFGMMH AWEMJ s SIP 01 TO
RE: Motion to Extend time for filing PDR
Dear Clerk,
Please find my Motion to extend time "with certificate of service." I filed a Motion to extend time but I failed to provide proper service.
I have not recieved notice as to: whether, th.a.t motion.. t.o. .ex.t.e.nd_ time was granted or denied because I did'nt provide service? So I am filing this "correct" motion with proper service just in case If my other motion was granted please do not file this one as it would be redundant. But if my other motion was denied because of incomplete service, please file this moiton immediately.
Thank you for your time and attention in ths matter. I look forward to your timely response.
Respectfully, Benito Garza £/ *2 NO.
