  APPELLEE’S SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
                       TIME TO FILE BRIEF
 _________________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellee Nancy Beggs (“Appellee”) respectfully requests the Court to

extend the time to file the Brief of Appellee in this appeal and, in support hereof,

respectfully shows the Court as follows:

      1.    Appellant is the City of Dallas and Appellee is Nancy Beggs.

      2.    After two unopposed extensions of time, Appellant filed its Brief and

Appendix on July 13, 2015.
       3.      Appellee hereby requests an extension of time of until October 14,

2015 to file its Brief.

       4.      The parties are currently in settlement negotiations and wish to use

any extra time in an effort to resolve this dispute.

       5.      Under Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure, the Court

may extend the time for filing a brief and may postpone submission of the case.

Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d). No procedural rule limits the time within which to file a

motion to extend. A motion to extend the time to file a brief “may be filed before

or after the date a brief is due.” Id.

       6.      For these reasons, Appellee requests that this Court set October 14,

2015 as the due date for the Brief of Appellee.

                                             Respectfully submitted,

                                             __/s/ Spencer P. Browne______________
