  FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S SR1KF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

       Now comes Leta York, Appellant          in the above styled and numbered          cause,

and moves this Court to grant an extension      of time to file   appellant's   brief, pursuant

to Rule 38, 6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for good cause shows

the following:

       1.     This case is on appeal from the 62ND Judicial District Court                    of

Hopkins County, Texas.

       2.     The case below was styled Leta York vs. Todd Boatman, and numbered

CV 41400.

       3.     This is a civil case involving    title to land.    There is no question for

immediate possession    of the   land.

       4.     Notice of appeal was given on JUNE l9, 2015.

       5,     The clerk's record was filed on July 23, 2015; the reporter's record was

filed on September 4, 2015,
       6.    The appellate brief is presently due on October 5, 2015.

       7.    Appellant     requests an extension   of time of 14 days    from the present

date, i.e. October 19, 2015.

       8.    No extension to file the brief has been received in this cause.

      9,     Appellant     relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested

extension:

      Appellant's   attorney has had a death in the family during the last 30 days and

has had extensive preparation       for a jury trial and other hearings that were not

originally foreseen.     He is almost complete with the brief, but needs just a few more

days to complete it. Appellee is in agreement with this extension,

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this

Court grant this Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant's      Brief, and for such other

and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

                                          Respectfully submitted,
