Mr. Germain Lawon Davis SPN # 02507078 Harris County Jail 1200 Baker Street Houston, Texas 77002 Re: Germain Lawon Davis v. State of Texas, Cause Number 01-13-00947- CR Dear Mr. Davis: Enclosed are copies of the opinion of the Court of Appeals in your case, a motion for extension of time for you to file a pro se petition for discretionary review in the Court of Criminal Appeals, and a copy of my motion to withdraw as attorney of record. I am sorry to say that, in my professional opinion further appeal would be pointless.

Should you have any questions, please let me know.

Appellant appeals from a judgment of guilt and sentence of life without parole the offense of capital murder 2.) On September 24, 2015, a panel of the First Court of Appeals in Cause No. 01-13-00947-CR, Germain Lawon Davis v. State of Texas, issued a memorandum opinion affirming appellant’s conviction. No motion for rehearing was filed.. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is due on Monday, October 26, 2015. This is the first requested extension.

Appellant requests a thirty-day extension to and including November 26, 2015.

3.) This extension is being sought for the following reasons: After fter careful review of the opinion of the Court of Appeals and the transcript of this case, in counsel’s professional opinion, further review of this case would be frivolous and without further merit. Counsel has informed appellant of his right to seek discretionary review, pro se, and will inform appellant of this request for extension.

4.) Counsel will file a motion to withdraw as attorney of record in the First Court of Appeals and will inform appellant, by copy of that motion.

WHEREFORE, premises considered, appellant prays for an extension of time to file appellant’s petition for discretionary review to and including October 26, 2015.
