TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, STEPHANIE JO BAKER, Appellee herein, by and through

their undersigned counsel, and files this Appellees’ Unopposed Motion for

Extension of Time to File her Appellee’ Brief in compliance with Rules 38.6(d)

and 10.5 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. In support of this motion,

Appellant would show as follows:

      (a)   After receiving an extension, Appellants’ brief was filed on December
            16, 2015.

      (b)   Appellee requests an extension of fourteen (14) days, until January 18,
            2016 to prepare her brief.

      (d)   This is Appellee’s first request and/or motion for an extension of time.

      (e)   Appellee is requesting this extension so that she might adequately
            brief the issues in dispute in this case, and it is not sought for the
            purpose of an improper delay.

      (f)   the undersigned has conferred with counsel for the Appellant, and the
            Appellant is unopposed to this motion.

      Appellants allege good cause exists for this request due to the undersigned’s

litigation and appellate schedule. The undersigned is currently assisting in both

criminal and civil matters at the trial and appellate level for his firm, Tritico

Rainey, PLLC. Moreover, while assisting in the drafting and preparation of these

appeals, the undersigned is also maintaining a litigation practice throughout the

state of Texas

      WHEREFORE,        PREMISES       CONSIDERED,        Appellants   respectfully

request that this Honorable court grant an extension of fourteen (14) days, up to

and including, Monday, January 18, 2016, to file Appellee’s brief.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
