                ______________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

          Cross-Appellant Lake Travis Transitional LTCH, LLC n/k/a Lake Travis

Specialty Hospital, LLC (“LTT”) files this second unopposed motion for an

extension of time to file its Brief of Cross-Appellant in this appeal. Currently the

brief is due on August 31, 2015. LTT respectfully requests that this Court extend

the time for filing its brief by three weeks to Monday, September 21, 2015. This is

the second request for an extension of time by LTT.

1239604
          LTT seeks this extension in order to have adequate time to analyze and brief

this issues in this case. The record in this appeal is sizeable, including a 20-volume

Reporter’s Record from a jury trial. There are a number of different parties and

issues in this appeal.      In addition, Appellants have moved for a three-week

extension of time to file their opening brief; it makes sense to keep all parties on a

parallel briefing schedule.

          This motion is unopposed.

          WHEREFORE, LTT respectfully requests that this Court grant this motion,

extend the deadline to file its brief of Cross-Appellant to September 21, 2015, and

grant to it all other relief to which it may be entitled.
