                APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR
             EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

       Appellees, Robert Scott Rankin, Rachelle Rankin, Avery Rankin, Kara Rankin,

and Samuel Rankin, by and through their undersigned attorneys, hereby move the

APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSE BRIEF - Page 1 of 4
Court for an Order extending the time to file Appellees’ Response Brief, and as

grounds therefor would show the Court the following:

1.     Appellees’ Response Brief is due on or before January 20, 2015.

2.     Appellees respectfully request that the Court extend their current briefing

deadline of January 20, 2015, to and including January 30, 2015. No previous

extension of time has been granted for the filing of Appellees’ Response Brief.

3.     Undersigned counsel has had an unusually busy schedule in December and

January, primarily due to the holiday season and the work required to prepare for

vacation time around the holiday season. Given that, undersigned counsel has not

had, and will not have, an opportunity to properly prepare the brief on the issues in

this matter by the current deadline.

       WHEREFORE, Appellees pray that the time for filing their response brief be

extended to and including January 30, 2015; and for such other and further relief as

the Court may deem to be just and proper.
