          ______________________________________________________________

To the Honorable 4th Court of Appeals:

       Now Comes David Medrano and files this his, and moves this Court to grant this

BRIEF, pursuant to Rule 38.6 and 10.5 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for

                                               I.

       This case is on appeal from the 37th Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas.

                                            II.
       The case below was styled Fidelity National Insurance v. David Medrano and

numbered 2008 – CI – 00027.

                                             III.
       Appellant is seeking appellate review of a contrary ruling in the above 37th Judicial

District Court. Appellant has conferred with the opposing attorney and it is agreed that a
Motion for Extension should be unopposed and thusly Granted for the requested 30 days.

Appellant has agreed that it would reciprocate if Appellee had a similar need.

                                               IV.

       Appellant has already formulated the framework of the Appeal and has researched

the basis of the arguments for the appeal. The undersigned was unable to complete the

above brief because of his workload and calendaring issues. Unfortunately, over the past

month the undersigned was required to deal: 1) with several dispositive motions, 2) a Jury

Setting that was understood to be continued, 3) I also was required to attend a destination

abroad wedding, Lastly, 4) Defendant is working on 2 other appeals that will also be due in

the near future: 04-15-00332-CV Manuel Camacho and Simona Camacho v. Texas

Westchester Financial, LLC pending in this Court of Appeals and Rhoda Navarro v. Fifth

Third Bank pending in the 5th Circuit.

                                                 V.
       Appellant’s brief is due June 19, 2015.

                                               VI.

       This is appellant’s first extension of time to file appellant’s brief. Appellant’s counsel

respectfully requests that this court bless the unopposed 30 day extension.

                                              VII.

       Appellant’s counsel does have a good deal on his plate this month but does at the

outset acknowledge to the Court that it is important to finalize this appeal. It is his sincere

hope to finalize this matter within the agreed time period.

                                           PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant prays that this Court grant this

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLAN’S

BRIEF, without prejudice to other extension if necessary.

                                                 Respectfully submitted,
