             October 26, 2015.

       B.    The Appellant is unable to meet the deadline for the following reasons:

             1)       limited access to the law library to a few hours a day,

             2)       limited legal knowledge thereby slowing down research, and

       relief as the Court may deem appropriate.

       from Ms. Barrett following her motion to extend time being found deficient due

       to a failure to include a certificate of service.
