                                 COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT
TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellant Kelvin Gold (“Gold”), through undersigned counsel, respectfully

moves this honorable Court for an extension of time in which to file Appellant’s

brief in the above-captioned appeal, and as grounds states as follows:

      1.     The Clerk’s Record on Appeal in this cause was filed on March 23,

2015 with the 14th Court of Appeals.

      2.     For the last few weeks, Counsel for Gold has been required to travel

out-of-state on numerous occasions for hearings and depositions and will be

traveling to Chicago, Illinois on the day the Gold’s brief is due. Due to counsel for

Gold’s current workload, previously scheduled depositions, court appearances and

trials in other matters, counsel for Gold needs more time to adequately review the

record on appeal and prepare Appellant’s brief.

      3.     Appellant’s brief is currently due July 21, 2015.

      4.     Appellant requests an extension of two (2) weeks, so that Appellant’s

brief may be prepared.      Such an extension would extend the filing date for

Appellant’s brief to August 4, 2015.

      5.     This is Gold’s first request for an extension of time on his reply brief.

      6.     The undersigned has conferred with counsel for Appellee, who has no

opposition to the relief requested, and was granted an extension of time to file its

opening brief.
      7.     This extension request is not intended for any undue delay or

prejudice, but so that Gold has sufficient time to prepare his brief and that justice

may be done.

      WHEREFORE, Gold respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant

this motion, affording him a two (2) week extension of time, through and until

August 4, 2015, to file his brief, and for such other and further relief as this

Honorable Courts deems appropriate.

                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                       ARNOLD & ITKIN LLP
