2.

This is the first request for an extension of time to file their brief.

3.

The undersigned counsel has had various and numerous commitments to 

handle matters, including litigation matters, for other clients prior to December 16, 

2015, which have interfered with and impeded the undersigned counsel’s ability to 

complete Appellee’s Brief in a timely and effective manner.

In addition, the undersigned has had out of town trips due to the 

Thanksgiving holidays and will be working with a limited staff due to vacations 

during the month of December. Further, the undersigned has out of town trips 

scheduled for two days before Christmas and Christmas day, all of which are work 

days.

Because of such trips and due to the various commitments to handle matters 

for other clients during the thirty (30) day period following the filing of 

Appellant’s brief in this appeal, the undersigned will be unable to complete in a 

timely and effective manner Appellee’s brief in this appeal by its original due date.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees respectfully pray 

that the Court of Appeals grant Appellees’ Unopposed Motion for Extension of 

Time to File Brief and that the deadline be extended to January 15, 2016, and for 

such other and further relief to which the Court of Appeals deems appropriate.
