MORRIS & LISA MELCHOR,
Appellees                                 §

                  MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

        Comes now Appellant, by and through counsel, to move to extend the

deadline for filing a brief in this appeal. As grounds therefor, Counsel would

show:

1. Current Deadline: February 2, 2015.

2. Requested Extension: 30 days after a complete clerk’s record is filed.

3. Reasons for Extension:

     A. Incomplete Clerk’s Record. The trial court clerk has not been able to
        prepare a supplemental transcript as of this writing. As set forth in the first
        motion to extend time to file their brief for Appellants, the trial clerk failed
        to include several summary judgment proofs, which was brought to the
        attention of the clerk by letter as TRAP 34.5(c)(1) directs. The trial clerk is
        reporting to the undersigned that her office has been unable to find certain
        efiled documents and is researching the issue. Counsel notes that some of
        the filings in the trial court were made prior to the transition to the new
        efiling system, and others were filed after. The ones the clerk is having
        trouble locating were filed under the old efile system.
4. Two previous extensions to file a brief were requested and granted.

                                        PRAYER

                                              1
      WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this motion be granted and the Court
extend the time for filing appellant's brief.

                                         Respectfully submitted,

                                         Paul C. Velte IV
