                      ________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      The Appellees motion this Court for an extension of time to file their Brief and,

in support hereof, show the following:

                                      I. DEADLINE

      The Appellees’ Brief was due on or before 5:00 PM, 29 June. As of the

moment this Motion was filed, no submission date has been scheduled.

                 II. LENGTH OF TIME SOUGHT FOR EXTENSION

      The undersigned motions for an Order of this Court allowing for an extension

of time to file the Appellees’ Brief to on or before 5:00 PM, Friday, 3 July 2015.

                   III. THE FACTS IN SUPPORT OF THIS MOTION

      He was unable to timely-file the Appellees’ Brief because he appreciated at

about 3:00 PM on 29 June, as he was proof-reading his penultimate draft, that his

laptop and/or USB drive had apparently become infected with some sort of a virus

that either prevented him from accessing downloaded material in one or both, or

prevented him from editing the same, thereby causing him to have to spend more

needed and valuable time to quickly deliver them both for inspection and repairs, and

then, on another laptop, basically have to start all over from memory and conduct a

second review for cases, authorities, etc., he could recall having located.

                          IV.    NUMBER OF EXTENSIONS.

      This is the Appellees’ first extension Motion.

                           V. CONFERENCE WITH THE
                       APPELLANTS’ APPELLATE COUNSEL

      Fortuitously, however, the undersigned had previously spoken to the

Appellants’ lead appellate counsel, Mr. Keith P. Miller, about the possibility of

asking for a short extension of time (albeit for a different basis), and Mr. Miller

graciously notified him that he would have no opposition to a short extension, were

the same to be necessary.

      Based on the foregoing facts, the undersigned motions this Court for an Order

allowing for an extension of time to file the Appellees’ Brief to on or before 5:00 PM,

Friday, 3 July 2015.
