                  GURNAM SINGH SANDHAR ET AL.

                                              Appellee

               On Appeal from the 55th Judicial District Court
                           Harris County, Texas
                    Trial Court Case No. 2013-51397

      APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME
         TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF ON THE MERITS

To the Honorable Fourteenth Court of Appeals:

      1.     Appellants’, Harpinder Singh, et al., respectfully file this

motion for a thirty (45) day extension of time to file the Clerk’s record and

in support respectfully state as follows:

                                       1
      2.     The brief of Appellants is due on July 6, 2015. This is

Appellants’ first request for an extension of time to file their brief.

      3.     Appellants are requesting 45 days from the granting of this

Motion in which to file their Appellant’s Brief on the Merits.

      4.     The counsel for Appellant is unable to confer with all

Appellees, as they are individuals unrepresented by counsel, and the

undersigned does not have a telephone number for each Appellee.

      5.     Counsel for the Appellant seeks this extension of time because

the Reporter’s record was just filed on June 3, 2015. Since that time,

Appellant’s counsel, Kristen Coleman, has had multiple evidentiary hearings

which have required significant time to prepare. Ms. Coleman also went on a

three day vacation.     Ms. Coleman seeks additional time to prepare the

Appellant’s brief.

      6.     It is for these reasons that counsel for Appellant has been

unable to complete the Brief on the Merits and is requesting an extension of

time. The undersigned attorney understands the importance of deadlines and

is not requesting this extension for reasons of delay only, but that justice

may be done.

                                        2
      WHEREFORE,         PREMISES         CONSIDERED,        the    Appellant

respectfully requests the Court to extend the time for filing her Brief on the

Merits in this cause by 30 days from the date of the Court’s granting of this

Motion.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
