3) Ms. Galvan requests that the deadline to file Appellant’s Brief be extended

15 days from the filing of this motion, or until December 15, 2015;

4) In its previous filing submitted on November 25, 2015, Defendant has

proposed that if the Court is inclined to grant this extension, that it grant only

an additional 15 days, to which Ms. Galvan concurs;

5) Undersigned counsel reasonably believes that he will be able to complete and

file Appellant’s Brief within the time requested; and

6) No further requests for an Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief shall be

requested.

Further, counsel requests this extension of time to file Appellant’s Brief

because of an unusually heavy trial schedule. Said trials and trial preparation have

caused undersigned counsel to be unable to complete Appellant’s Brief within the

deadline.

Additionally, undersigned counsel was being assisted in researching and

drafting Appellant’s Brief in this Cause by attorney Gerald Staton, who passed away

suddenly on November 9, 2015. At the time of his passing, Mr. Staton was in

possession of the trial record in this case, as well as other documents and research

materials to be accessed and referred to in drafting Appellant’s Brief. Those

Finally, as stated above, undersigned counselreasonably believes that he will

be able to complete and file the Appellant’s Brief in this cause within the additional

time requested herein.

PRAYER

PREMISES CONSIDERED, APPELLANT DOLORES GALVAN prays that this

Court grant Appellant’s First Amended Fourth Motion to Extend Time to File

Appellant’s Brief . Appellant further prays for any other relief to which she may

show herself justly entitled.

Respectfully submitted,
