Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a pro se petitioner's request for a 60-day extension to file a certiorari petition should be granted based on pending state-court motions and challenges to the underlying felony conviction

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

No question identified. : Under Rule 13.1 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States, Petitioner’s petition for a writ of certiorari is currently due December 3, 2025 (90 days after the denial of discretionary review). Pursuant to Rule 13.5, Petitioner respectfully requests a 60-day extension, making the new filing deadline February 1, 2026. 2. Good Cause for Extension Good cause exists for this request. Petitioner has multiple post-judgment motions pending before the 59th District Court of Grayson County, Texas, including a Motion to Vacate Judgment was filed on November 12, 2025. That motion seeks to vacate the judgment based on newly discovered evidence ,certified Denison Municipal Court dismissals that invalidate the probable cause relied upon in Petitioner’s felony conviction and addresses documented misconduct, including the suppression of exculpatory evidence, improper handling of recorded evidence, and falsified documentation. The outcome of these pending motions directly affects the completeness and accuracy of the record that will be presented to this Court. Petitioner proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis, without legal counsel or access to electronic filing resources, and requires additional time to compile certified record excerpts, trial transcripts, and exhibits for inclusion in the petition. This brief extension will enable Petitioner to incorporate the results of the pending state-court filings and ensure a comprehensive, accurate submission. Granting this motion will not prejudice Respondent and will promote judicial efficiency and fairness. 3. Relief Requested For these reasons, Petitioner respectfully prays that Justice Alito grant a 60-day extension of time, up to and including February 1, 2026, to file her Petition for Writ of Certiorari.
