           ______________________________________________

               On Appeal from the 234th Judicial District Court
                         Of Harris County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause No. 2013-17308
           ______________________________________________

                    UNOPPOSED MOTION OF
                 APPELLANT, IRMA K. ORTEGA,
        TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S REPLY BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      Appellant, IRMA K. ORTEGA, moves the Court for an extension of

time to file Appellant’s Reply Brief. In support, Appellant states as follows:

      Appellant’s reply brief is currently due January 9, 2015.

      Appellant is requesting an extension to file her reply brief, to and

including Monday, February 9, 2015.

                                                                         1|Page
      This extension is made necessary due to Appellant’s counsel’s

involvement in the following matter:

      Preparation of Appellee’s Brief in the case styled Texas Municipal
      League Intergovernmental Risk Pool, Appellant v. Lloyd K. Aldridge,
      Appellee, Cause No. 13-14-00670-CV, in the Court of Appeals for the
      Thirteenth District of Texas.

      Also, Appellee filed his brief on December 22, 2014, shortly before—
      and for some, during—the Christmas and New Year holiday season.
      People in the office of counsel for Ms. Ortega who would otherwise be
      working on the brief, had holiday time off during that period.

      This is the first extension of time requested by Appellant, Irma K.

Ortega, on Appellant’s Reply Brief.

      Counsel for Appellee has agreed to this extension.

                            PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      Appellant, Irma K. Ortega, requests that the Court grant her motion for

an extension of time to file Appellant’s Reply Brief to a date up to and

including February 9, 2015.

                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                       /S/ Kurt Arbuckle_________________
