                                Appellees

           On Appeal from 113th District Court of Harris County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause Number 2014-12172

               APPELLANT’S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
                     TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,

Appellant, Sahami Investments, LTD, files this First Motion for Extension of Time

to File Apellant’s Brief and, in support thereof, would respectfully show the Court

as follows:

      1.      The deadline for Appellant to file the brief was February 25, 2015.

      2.      Counsel for Appellant is in the process of negotiating a settlement in

this matter and requests additional time to file the Appellant’s Brief.
       3.     This request for an extension of time is not sought for delay, but rather

to give counsel for Appellant adequate time to prepare the Brief so that the briefing

will be as helpful as possible to this Court.

       4.     For the foregoing reasons, Appellant respectfully requests that this

Court grant this First Motion for Extension of Time and give Appellant until May

26, 2015, to file its brief. Appellant respectfully requests any further relief to

which it is justly entitled.

                                        Respectfully submitted,

                                        THE SEILER LAW FIRM, PLLC
