TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

      COMES NOW TERRY RANDALL, the Appellant in the above-numbered

and styled appeal, by and through their counsel of record, S. Cory Sells, and

respectfully moves for an enlargement of forty-five (45) days for the filing of their

opening brief, and in support thereof would respectfully show unto the Court the

following:

1.    Final Judgment in this matter was issued on June 1, 2015. Appellant's brief

is currently due on Wednesday, July 22,20 15.

2.    Appellant's counsel, Mr. S. Cory Sells has been in and out of the hospital

over the last weekend do to a medical issue and is investigating with medical

professionals if surgery and future medical care is required. Unfortunately, this has

prevented him from dedicating the time necessary to Appellant's brief.

Furthermore, Appellant's opening brief will contest a JNOV which contested legal

and factual sufficiency of every item placed before the jury. Appellant's wishes to

have adequate time to fully brief all of these issues.

3.    Accordingly, Appellant's counsel respectfully requests that the Court

enlarge the time for filing Appellant's opening brief by forty-five (45) days,

through and including September 5,20 15.

4.    Appellant has attempted to contact counsel for Appellees regarding their

opposition to this request but has yet to hear back from opposing counsel.
                                      PRAYER

      Wherefore, premises considered, the Appellant, Randall Walker, prays that

the Court enlarge the deadline for the filing of their opening brief by forty-five (45)

days, through and including September 5,20 15.

                                              Respectfully submitted,
