TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

        Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellant, Leah Shike ("Appellant")

files this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief.

        Appellant's opening brief is currently due November 16,2015.

        Counsel for Appellant requests a 30-day extension of time to file Appellant's brief,

making the brief due on December 16,2015. This is the first request for extension of time to file

the opening brief.

        Counsel for Appellant relies on the following reasons, in addition to the routine matters

that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the need for the requested extension:

        •      The undersigned has been under a heavy workload and it has been impossible to
               reach this case for study and analysis and preparation of the Brieffor Appellant.

        Counsel for Appellant seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a persuasive and

concise briefto aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented.

        This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.

        The undersigned has conferred with Ethan Goodwin, counsel for the Defendant/Appellee,

and he has indicated that his client does not oppose this Motion.

        All facts recited in this Motion are within the personal knowledge of the counsel signing

this Motion, therefore, no verification is necessary under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

10.2.

                                     PRAYER FOR RELIEF

        For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court grant this Unopposed

First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief and extend the deadline for filing the

Appellant's Brief up to and including December 16, 2015. Appellant requests all other relief to

which she may be justly entitled.
