                                        OF RETIREMENT VALUE, LLC

                                                                                      1
         COMES NOW, Appellee, Eduardo S. Espinosa, in his Capacity as Receiver of

Retirement Value, LLC, and request the Court to extend the time to file Appellee’s Brief.

Time to File Brief in accordance with Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b) and Tex. R. App. P.

38.6(d).

                                     A. Introduction

         1.    Appellant filed its brief on March 27, 2015.

         2.    Appellee’s brief is due on April 29, 2015.

         3.    Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 38.6(b) states that the appellee's

brief must be filed within 30 days after the date the appellant's brief was filed. Appellee

now asks the Court to grant its motion to extend time for thirty days to file appellee’s

brief.

                               B. Arguments & Authorities

         4.    The Court may extend the time for filing a brief under Texas Rule of

Appellate Procedure 38.6(d).

         5.    Appellee seeks an extension in this case because Appellee is still seeking

correction and supplementation of the Clerk’s Record. In addition to the size and issues

associated with the Clerk’s Record, attorney’s for Appellee have other deadlines

associated with other cases.

         6.    Counsel for Appellant does not oppose this motion and has agreed to the

extension sought.

         7.    There have not been any previous extensions granted regarding the filing of

Appellee’s brief.

                                                                                         2
                                       C. Prayer

       8.     For these reasons, Appellee Eduardo S. Espinosa, in his Capacity as

Receiver of Retirement Value, LLC asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file

the appellee’s brief until May 29, 2015.

                                           Respectfully submitted,
