              UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION
                 OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF
                _________________________________________

To the Honorable Court:

      Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Appellant Viking Healthcare,

LLC (“Viking”) files this Unopposed Second Motion for Extension of Time to File

Appellant’s Brief seeking an additional extension of 14 days to file the Appellant’s

Brief in this case. In support of the requested 14-day extension, Viking would

respectfully show the following:
       1.     Viking sought and received one previous extension of time to file its

brief in this case, which makes the current due date for the Appellant’s Brief

November 11, 2015.

       2.     For the following reasons, Viking requests an additional extension of

14 days to file the Appellant’s Brief, which would make the new due date for the

Appellant’s Brief Wednesday, November 25, 2015.

       3.     The undersigned, who is chiefly responsible for preparing the brief, has

been and will be involved in other matters that necessitate an extension, including:

       a.     Preparation of an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the National Black
              Chamber of Commerce that was filed on November 3, 2015 in Samsung
              et al. v. Apple Inc., No. 2014-1802, pending in the United States Court
              of Appeals for the Federal Circuit; and
       b.     Various matters following a trial that concluded on October 23, 2015
              in Johnson v. Emerson Electric Co. et al., No. 048-268665-13, pending
              in the 48th District Court of Tarrant County, Texas.

       4.     Because of these and other scheduling conflicts, the undersigned

believes that a 14-day extension will be necessary in order to prepare an adequate

brief in this case.

       5.     This is Viking’s second request for an extension of time, and it is not

opposed.

                                          2
      WHEREFORE, Appellant Viking Healthcare, LLC respectfully prays that the

Court grant this unopposed motion and extend the time to file its Appellant’s Brief

to November 24, 2015.

                                            Respectfully submitted,
