        An Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 of Bell County, Texas
               The Honorable Judge Edward Johnson, Presiding
                        Trial Court Cause No. 29,462

      SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
              APPELLEE’S BRIEF ON THE MERITS

To the Honorable Court of Appeals:

      Comes now Kanda Koehler, Appellee in the above case, and files this

Second Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s Brief on the Merits.

In support of this Motion, Appellee shows as follows:

      1.    Appellants filed their Brief Requesting Oral Argument on September

18, 2015. Appellee’s Brief on the Merits was initially due on October 19, 2015.

      2.    Appellee previously requested an extension of time, which the Court

granted. The Court extended the time for the filing of Appellee’s Brief on the

Merits to November 18, 2015.
       3.      Appellee requests a second extension of time for 30 days to file her

brief. If granted, the extension would change the due date for Appellee’s Brief on

the Merits to December 18, 2015.

       4.      Good cause exists for the extension of time to file Appellee’s Brief in

this case. Counsel for Appellee has had to attend other court matters and lead

counsel has been out of the country for ten days attending to mediation and legal

ethics training of lawyers in the country of Uganda. Certainly, that trip was

planned and anticipated, but the extent of counsel’s backlog upon return was not

anticipated.

       5.      No party will be prejudiced by the extension of time requested. This

request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done. Appellants do not

oppose this request. Therefore, Appellee requests that the Court extend Appellee’s

file date for her Brief on the Merits to December 18, 2015.

       Wherefore, premises considered, Appellee respectfully requests this Court to

extend the time for filing her Brief on the Merits to December 18, 2015.
