       APPELLEES’ FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME (AGREED)
_____________________________________________________________________________________

      COMES NOW, Robert Leake and Zebra Instruments Corporation, and files this

their First Motion for Extension of Time to File Response Brief, and in support thereof

would show as follows:

      Ebenezer:             You'll want the whole day off tomorrow, I suppose.

      Bob Cratchit:         If quite convenient, sir.

      Ebenezer:             It's not convenient. And it's not fair! If I stopped you half a
                            crown for it, you'd think yourself ill used, wouldn't you? But you
                            don't think me ill used if I pay a day's wages for now work,
                            hmm?

      Bob Cratchit:         'Tis only once a year, sir.

      Ebenezer:             That's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of
                            December.

      Bob Cratchit:         Yes, sir. I'm sure I'm very sorry, sir, to cause you such an
                            inconvenience. It's the family more than me, sir. They put their
                            hearts into Christmas as it were, sir.

      Ebenezer:             Yes, and put their hands into my pockets as it were, sir. I
                            suppose you'd better have the whole day. But be back all the
                            earlier the next morning.

                                              1
           Bob Cratchit:        I will indeed, sir. Thank you, sir! It's more than generous of
                                you, sir. 1

                                            I.
                                   HISTORY OF THE CASE

           Appellant filed its appellate brief on December 7, 2015.          Despite counsel’s

representation to this Court that a copy of the brief was provided to the undersigned

through the electronic filing manager, the brief was not copied to the e-mail addresses

already on file in this case with www.E-File.Txcourts.gov, whether that be through an

omission on the part of Mr. Ogle’s office or some other problem. Appellee received a copy of

the brief when the undersigned checked the Court’s docket on December 17, 2015 to see

whether Appellant had complied with this Court’s current deadline.

                                             II.
                                       RELIEF SOUGHT

             Appellant’s filing on December 7, 2015 means that Appellees’ response brief is due

on January 6, 2015. T.R.A.P. 38.6(b) The undersigned is out for Christmas vacation from

December 24th until January 4th The return date falls two business days before the brief is

due, which is insufficient time to have it ready to file. Appellants request an extension of

30 days to file a response to Appellant’s brief.     There have been no previous requests for

extensions filed by Appellant. This motion is agreed between counsel.

           WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees Robert Leake and Zebra

Instruments Corporation pray that Appellee’s Motion for Extension of Time be in all things

GRANTED.
