The appellant does not. cite in her petition for review any violation of substantive due process nor does the appellant cite any violation of procedural due process.

This Court does not reach the decision that the appeal lacks merit because the basis of the appeal is not clearly set forth in the Petition FOR REVIEW.

1. That, the appellant be hereby granted additional time, until March 1, 1995, to file a PETITION FOR REVIEW setting forth the factual basis and legal basis why her appeal should be granted;

2. That, unless this Order is complied with on a timely basis this matter may be dismissed and the lower Court's decision affirmed.

3. It is hereby suggested but not ordered that the appellant secure at her own expense legal counsel. Neither the Tribal Court nor the Appellant Court has funds to provide legal counsel.
