TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTEENTH COURT OF
APPEALS:

      Appellant, Richard Saad, Jr., files this unopposed motion for extension of

time to file its brief on the merits. The current filing deadline for the brief is

December 14, 2015. Appellant requests a 30-day extension, for a new deadline of

January 13, 2016.

      The reasons for this extension are that counsel for Appellant is also tasked

with (1) preparing an appellant’s brief in 09-15-00299-CV, National Security Fire

& Casualty Co., v. Rene Lampson and Justina Henriquez, in the Court of Appeals

for the Ninth Judicial District; filed July 30, 2015; (2) preparing an appellant’s

brief in 14-15-00714-CV, National Security Fire & Casualty Co., v. Ozier Hurst,

in the Court of Appeals for the Fourteenth Judicial District; filed August 21, 2015;

and (3) preparing an appellant reply brief in 14-15-00610-CV, South Winds

Express Construction, LLC v. D.H. Griffin of Texas, Inc., in the Court of Appeals

for the Fourteenth Judicial District, filed July 2, 2015.

      No previous extensions have been granted, and the Court has authority to

extend the time to file a brief under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d).

This extension is unopposed and is not sought for delay only. No party will be

prejudiced if it is granted. As set forth in the Certificate of Conference, Appellee

does not oppose the relief sought by this motion.

                                           2
 
 

      For these reasons, Appellant, Richard Saad, Jr., prays that this Court grant

his Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply Brief on the Merits,

extending the deadline to January 13, 2016.

                                              Respectfully submitted,

                                              KILLEEN & STERN, P.C.
