SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO FILE PETITION FOR REVIEW

ACCUSED-PETITIONER JUAN A. DELA CRUZ, by counsel, to the

Honorable Court, respectfully states:

1. On 10 February 2017, accused-appellant, filed a timely

motion for extension of time to file his petition for review asking for
fifteen (15) days or until 26 February 2017 within which to file his
petition for review.

2. Unfortunately, such period proved to be insufficient for the

undersigned new counsel to review and study the entire records of the
case from the trial court up to the appeal to the Court of Appeals.

3. Thus, undersigned counsel, begs the kindest indulgence of

the Honorable Court to grant her another fifteen (15) days or until 13
March 2017 to file the required petition pursuant to Section 2, Rule 45
of the Rules of Court.

4. This motion is not intended to delay the proceedings of the

instant case but is being filed in good faith solely for the afore-stated
reasons.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that petitioner be granted

an another extension of fifteen (15) days from 26 February 2017, or
until 13 March 2017, within which to file the intended petition.
