                On Appeal from the 200th Judicial District Court of
                             Travis County, Texas
                        Cause No. D-1-GN-14-004583
            _________________________________________________________

        UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT:

     Appellees Sight’s My Line, Inc. and Stewart Lantz (“Appellees”)

respectfully file this unopposed motion asking the Court to extend the deadline to

file Appellees’ brief seven days from July 29, 2015 to August 5, 2015. This is the

first motion for extension of time with respect to Appellees’ brief.

       1.    Appellees Sight’s My Line, Inc.’s and Stewart Lantz’s brief is

currently due on or before July 29, 2015.

       2.    Appellees are requesting an additional seven days in which to file
their brief because their lead counsel is currently engaged in a multi-day trial.

Work on Appellees’ brief in this case has been interrupted by the preparation for

and attendance at the trial.

       3.    The relief sought by this motion is so that justice may be done, and is

not sought solely for delay, or for any other improper purpose.

       4.    Appellees therefore request the Court to extend the current deadline

for their brief from July 29, 2015 until August 5, 2015.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees Sight’s My Line,

Inc. and Stewart Lantz respectfully pray for the Court to grant this first unopposed

motion for extension of time in which to file their brief. Appellees also pray for

such other relief to which they may be entitled.
