      SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                   TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF
       ______________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Warren Kopecky, Appellant, and files this Second

Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief and in support

thereof would respectfully show the Court the following:

                                        I.

      Currently Appellant’s brief is due on January 16, 2015. Appellant’s counsel

has been in continued settlement discussions and requests additional time to

determine whether this dispute can be resolved and settled without intervention

from this Court. Appellant has discussed this motion for extension of time with all
of Appellees’ counsel and they have consented to a second extension of time to file

Appellant’s brief. Appellant therefore requests an extension of time until Friday,

May 1, 2015 for the filing Appellant’s brief.

                                         II.

      This is Appellant’s second request for an extension of time to file his brief

and the extension is not sought solely for delay, but that justice may be done.

      WHEREFORE, Appellant requests that the Court grant this Motion and

designate Friday, May 1, 2015 as the due date for filing Appellant’s Brief.

                                Respectfully submitted,
