                                                         v.

                             TURBINE RESOURCES UNLIMITED, INC.
                                          Appellee

                     On appeal from the 61st District Court, Harris County, Texas,
                                       Cause No. 2004-41286

          APPELLEE’S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

          Appellee, Turbine Resources Unlimited, Inc., files this First Motion for Extension

 of Time. In support thereof, Appellee would show the following:

 1.       This motion is time-sensitive. Appellees’ Brief is due today, November

 25, 2015. Appellee recently retained the undersigned counsel to handle

 these matters on this appeal.                        This is a consolidated appeal from (1) an

 interlocutory appeal filed on May 4, 2015, and (2) an appeal from a final order, filed on

 July 2, 2015. This Court consolidated both appeals under Cause No. 14-15-00417-CV.

{372001-00002 SNR 11/24/2015 01016454.DOCX 1 }       Page 1 of 3
 2.       Appellee has ordered supplements to the Clerk’s Record which will require

 approximately 30 days considering the holiday season.

 3.       Appellee requests a 45 day extension to file their brief.

 4.       This is Appellee’s first request for an extension of time.

 5.       Appellee submits this motion not for the purposes of delay, but so that justice

 may be done.

 6.       Appellants appeal concerns an order obtained by the Receiver. The second appealed

 order denied appellant’s motion to modify the turnover order and claims that the Master’s

 Reports are void. Riecke Baumann, Receiver and Master, is named as a party with an

 interest in the outcome, but not as an appellee. Movant asks that the extension include

 Receiver and Master, as neither Appellee nor Riecke Baumann has determined whether he

 is an appellee and what his rights and duties are in this appeal.

                                                  Prayer

         WHEREFORE, Appellee requests that all interested parties are granted a 45- day

 extension to file their briefs; Appellee also prays for all other relief at law or in equity

 to which the Court deems they may be justly entitled.

                                                          Respectfully submitted,

                                                          HOOVER SLOVACEK LLP
