2

Appellants’ Notice of Appeal was filed November 14, 2014. By order dated 

January 23, 2015, this Court deemed that the Clerk’s record was filed.

2. Appellants’ Brief was originally due to be filed on February 23, 2015. 

However, Appellants sought and were granted an extension of thirty (30) days in 

which to file their Brief. Appellants’ brief was timely filed on March 20, 2015.

3. The Kulka Appellees’ brief is currently due on April 20, 2015. The 

Kulka Appellees respectfully request an extension of thirty (30) days in which to 

prepare and file their Appellees’ Brief until May 20, 2015. At least two orders 

have been entered extending the deadline for Co-Appellees to file their briefs until 

May 20, 2015.

4. This extension of time is requested to allow for coordination among 

the Appellees and avoid duplication of the briefing presented to this Court. The 

Kulka Appellees further request this extension because of conflicts associated with 

counsel’s schedule, as well as other pending matters. Thus, the Kulka Appellees 

respectfully request a thirty (30) day extension of the deadline to file their brief, or 

until May 20, 2015. 

5. This is the Kulka Appellees’ first request for an extension of time. 

This request is not sought for delay, but in order that justice may be done, and in 

order that the Kulka Appellees may properly review the record, examine and 

consider the issues raised in Appellants’ brief and adequately address the issues in 
3

this appeal. No party will be harmed if this request for extension of time is 

granted.

WHEREFORE, appellees Lee Ann Kulka, Andrea Jurica and Lee Roy

Hoskins, III respectfully request that this Court grant the Kulka Appellees’

unopposed request for an extension of time to file their Appellees’ Brief until May 

20, 2015. The Kulka Appellees pray for such other and further relief to which they 

may be justly entitled.

Respectfully submitted,
