   MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEES BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b), Appellees CU

move the Court to extend the time for filing Appellees’ Brief by 30 days, such that

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEES’ BRIEF                            PAGE 1
the deadline to file same is December 9, 2015.           Appellant Ben Melton is

unopposed the requested extension.

      1.     The clerk’s record was filed on August 10, 2015, and the

supplemental record was filed on August 18, 2015.

      2.     The reporter’s record was filed on July 14, 2015.

      3.     Appellant’s Brief was filed on October 9, 2015.

      2.     Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 4.1(a) and 38.6(b),

Appellees’ Brief is currently due on November 8, 2015.

      3.     Appellees request a 30-day extension of the time in which to file their

Brief, such that the deadline for filing same would be moved to and including

December 8, 2015.

      4.     In support of the requested extension, Appellees would show that

Mark D. Cronenwett, counsel for Appellees responsible for preparing Appellees’

Brief, has been busy on other cases, which has cut into the briefing period and

impeded Appellees’ ability to prepare its Brief by the deadline.

      5.     No previous extensions of time for filing Appellees’ Brief has been

sought by or granted to Appellees in this appeal. Appellees seek this extension not

for the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done.
