Appellee.                                 §   AUSTIN, TEXAS

                 APPELLEE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                              TO FILE BRIEF

      Appellee Herbert Walker files this Motion for Extension of Time to File

Brief pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d) and would respectfully show:

      Appellant filed his brief on September 29, 2015, making Appellee’s brief

due on October 29, 2015. However, Appellant mistakenly failed to perfect service

of his brief on Appellee. Appellee first obtained a copy of Appellant’s brief on

November 18, 2015, after receiving a notice from the Clerk that Appellee’s brief

was past due.    Appellee is requesting an extension of 50 days of the original

deadline, which would make Appellee’s brief due on December 18, 2015. Such an

extension would allow Appellee 30 days from the date he actually received

Appellant’s brief in which to file, as contemplated by TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(b). No

previous extension has been granted regarding Appellee’s brief. This extension of

time is not sought for the purposes of delay, but so that justice may be done.
                                      Respectfully submitted,
