                                               I.

                 COMES NOW, Appellant in the above styled case, and makes and

          files this his request for an extension of time to file his PDR and would show

          unto the Court the following:

DAYS REQUESTED BY THIS

DATE TO WHICH EXTENSION
IS REQUESTED:                                       8-12-15

NUMBER OF EXTENSIONS
PREVIOUSLY GRANTED:                                 1

                                     I.

      The Appellee's request is based upon the following reasonable
explanation of the need for additional time, within the personal knowledge
of Charles W. McDonald, the attorney signing this motion, T.R.A.P. 10.5(b),
namely:
                                    II.

      Counsel has worked through the weekend and needs two additional
days to complete this PDR. Counsel has been working under great strain the
last 60 days due to the recent death of his father, his estate and winding
down his practice. I would greatly appreciate the two days.
                                    III.

      WHEREFORE, this Attorney for the Appellant prays that the Court
grant this motion and extend the time and deadline for the filing of
Appellant's PDR for 2 weeks, or the Court grant such additional time as is
just and proper.
                                      Respectfully submitted,

                                      /s/
