Question Presented (OCR Extract)

No question identified. : Relief Sought Michael Donell Glover, Petitioner, Pro Se, moves this Honoralbe court for an order granting an extension of time to file a Writ of Certioraci, extending the time 60 days, so that the time for filing of the writ of certiorari will expire on September 16, 2025. Grounds for Relief 1. The Court of Criminal Appeals rendered judgement in case No. PD-0514-24, styed Michael Donell Glover V. The State of Texas, on April 16,2025. 2. Petitioner's writ of Certiorari is due to be filed with this court on July 16, 2025 Petitioner seeks a 60 day extension of time to file the writ of certiorari, which would make the writ of certiorari due on September 16, 2025. 3. The extension of time is necessory because Petitioner recerved notice of the opinion from the court of criminal appeals from his appellate attorney, Livia Liu Francis, P.O. Box 203, Kaufman, Texas, (214) 794-6568, on April 24, 2025. At the time Petitioner received the notice he was housed at the Coffield Unit, located in Tennessee Colony, TX. 4. On May 9, 2025, Petitioner was put on "special chain" due to being "heat restricted" to be transferred to the Allred Ubit, located in Iowa Park,TX. At the time all his property except a small bag was inventoried, packed up to be shipped seperately at a later date. Petitioner wasonly allowed to bring the small bag of necessies on the bus with him. However, instead of going to the Allred Unit, Petitioner went to the Michael Unit also located in Tennessee Colony, TX. At the Michael Unit Petitioner was placed in 12 bulding, restriced housing, transit for a period of 35 days without property(which is where the bulk of my legal documents were). 5. On June 13, 2025, Petitioner departed the Michael Unit and arrived at the William P. Clements Unit, lacated in Amarillo, TX, where Petitioner is currently housed. 6. On June 23, 2025, Petitioner wrote his appeals attorney requesting copies of his trial transcripts to be able to do additional reserch for his writ of certiorari. 7. On June 24, 2025, Petitioner wrote a request to.the U.S. Supreme Court for a format and requirements to do a writ of Certiorari. It appears unlikely at this time that Petitioner will receive his property, an answer from his appeals attorney or his request from the U.S. Supreme Court, prior to or at the time the writ of certiorari is due, thus time constraints will make it diffiult to adequately prepare thw writ of certiorari. Therefore additional time is needed to adequately prepare the issues and arguments in this case. 8. This is the first extension of time Petitioner has sought for filing the writ of certiorari. For these reasons Petitioner requests that this court grant his application to extend time for filing the writ of certiorari so that the writ of certiorari will be due on or before September, 16, 2025. Petitioner also request any other relief on which Petitioner may be entltled.
