            EXTENSION SOUGHT IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE

         The extension sought is not for the purpose of delay, but rather, in the

interest of justice and to allow Appellee proper time to fully brief the issues to the

until January 25, 2015, to file its response to appellant’s motion for rehearing.
