                           Dallas County, Texas

              UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                     TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b) and 38.6(d). Appellant Marilyn D.

Garner, Chapter 7 Trustee of the estate of the David Bagwell Company and

Trustee of the Estate of Evermore Communities, Ltd., file this Unopposed Motion

for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief.    In support of the 14-day

                                      1	
  
extension requested in this motion, Appellant would respectfully show the Court

the following:

      1.     On February 18, 2015, the Court granted Appellants’ request for an

extension of 30 days to file their brief, making the due date March 23, 2015. For

the folowing reasons, Appellants request an additional extension of 14 days to

file their brief, making the new due date April 6, 2015.

      2.     The undersigned, Appellant’s lead appellate counsel, has been and

will be involed in other matters that necessitate an extension, including:

      a.     Preparation for and attendance in mediation on on March 6, 2015 in

EXCO Resources Inc. v. United Rentals, Inc.; 3:13-CV-00897; United States District

Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division;

      b.     Preparation for and attendance in the deposition of Kent Gatzki on

March 18, 2015 in Wasserman, et al. v. Dondero, et al.; DC-13-06074; 191st Judicial

District Court, Dallas County; and

      c.     Preparation for and attendance in the deposition of James Dondero

on March 23, 2015 in Wasserman, et al. v. Dondero, et al.; DC-13-06074; 191st

Judicial District Court, Dallas County.

      3.     Because these and other scheduling conflicts, the undersigned

believes that a 14-day extension will be necessary in order to prepare and

adequate brief in this case.

                                          2	
  
      WHEREFORE, Appellant Marilyn D. Garner, Chapter 7 Trustee of the

estate of the David Bagwell Company and Trustee of the Estate of Evermore

Communities, Ltd., respectfully prays that the Court grant this unopposed

motion and extend the time to file Appellant’s Brief to April 6, 2015.

                                      Respectfully submitted,
