COUNSEL FOR APPELLANTS INTEGRITY GLOBAL SECURITY, LLC AND GREEN
                       HILLS SOFTWARE, INC.
TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

      Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(a),

Appellants INTEGRITY Global Security, LLC and Green Hills Software, Inc.

(collectively “Appellants”) file this unopposed motion requesting an extension of

time to file their reply brief, which is currently due on December 11, 2017.

Appellants seek a thirty day extension, up to an including January 10, 2018, in

which to file their reply brief. This is Appellants’ first request for an extension of

this deadline. Appellees do not oppose the requested extension.

      Appellants request this extension to allow appellate counsel an opportunity

to fully analyze and respond to the issues presented in Appellees’ response brief.

The Court previously granted Appellees’ unopposed motion for a 30-day extension

in which to file their Appellees’ Brief. Appellees’ Brief is nearly sixty pages long,

excluding appendices, and Appellants require additional time to adequately and

fully respond to the complex issues presented in this appeal.

      Furthermore, commitments in trial courts and other appellate deadlines—as

well as personal commitments during the holiday season—facing Appellants’

counsel make additional time to adequately prepare and file Appellants’ reply

necessary. Therefore, Appellants requests that the Court grant this thirty day

extension in order to afford appellate counsel adequate time to thoroughly reply to

the complex issues and arguments raised.

                                          2
        This extension is not sought for purposes of delay but that justice may be

done.

                                       PRAYER

        For these reasons, Appellants INTEGRITY Global Security, LLC and Green

Hills Software, Inc. pray that the Court grant Appellants’ motion for a thirty day

extension of time, allowing Appellants up to and including January 10, 2017, to

reply to Appellees’ Brief. Appellants also pray for such further relief to which

they may be entitled.

                                             Respectfully submitted,

                                             GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP
