                        On Appeal from the 55th District Court
                               Harris County, Texas.

                              Trial Cause No. 2014-22168

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

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

       COMES NOW, Appellant Francisco Calleja-Ahedo and files this first motion

for extension of time to file his Appellant’s Brief and would show:

       Appellant’s Brief is due on June 11, 2015. This is the first request for extension,

although a prior motion was denied as premature based on the erroneous assumption

that Appellant’s Brief was due earlier. Mr. O’Connor was hospitalized in March for

eight days and underwent three procedures to stabilize his heart. Subsequently, Mr.
O’Connor was again in the hospital for eleven days during the first half of May with

pneumonia and continued heart complications. He still has not been cleared by his

cardiologist and may have to reenter the hospital soon to implant a pacemaker. Mr.

O’Connor is presently restricted in his work and other activities and cannot complete

the brief by June 11, 2015. See doctor’s letter attached hereto. Appellant’s attorneys

have been unable to complete Appellant’s Brief under such circumstances, which

requires dealing with numerous issues and record review.

       WHERFORE, Appellant requests a forty-five (45) day extension to file

Appellant’s Brief.

                             Respectfully submitted,

                             O'CONNOR, CRAIG, GOULD & EVANS
