       APPELLEES’ FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

      NOW COME Appellees Charles E. Harrell and Hollis R. Harrell and hereby

file this motion asking that the Court extend time for filing the Appellees’ brief in

this cause, and in support hereof would show the Court as follows:

                                         1.

      A.     The case is on appeal from the 218th Judicial District, Karnes
             County, Texas.

      B.     The style and number of the case in the trial court was Cause
             No. 13-11-00232-CVK; Charles E. Harrell and Hollis R.
             Harrell v. Peter J. Dragon.

      C.     Appellant Peter J. Dragon is appealing an Order entered by the
             Court on February 13, 2015 granting Appellees Charles E.
             Harrell and Hollis R. Harrell’s Motion for Summary Judgment
             and denying Peter J. Dragon’s Motion for Summary Judgment.

      D.     The present deadline for filing the brief of Appellees in this
             case is June 10, 2015.

      E.     Appellees seek an extension of time of eight (8) days – until
             June 18, 2015.

      F.     This is Appellees’ First Motion For Extension Of Time filed in
             this matter.

      G.     Appellant Peter J. Dragon has agreed to this request.

                                          2

                                         2.

      Due to previous trial deadlines and commitments, counsel for Appellees are

unable to perform the necessary legal research and finalize Appellees’ brief by the

existing deadline.

                                         3.

      This extension is not sought for the purpose of delaying this appeal, but so

that justice may be done.

                                          Respectfully Submitted,
