JANE THORN-HENDERSON                         §

                   APPELLEE’S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION
                           OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THIS COURT:

       Jane Thorne-Henderson requests an order extending time to file her brief as follows:

       Appellee requests a one week extension of time to file her brief because counsel for

appellee was originally scheduled to attend trial of Cause No: DC-13-07008, styled Maria

Alonzo v. Linda Meredith, in the 191st District Court of Dallas County, Texas; and then the day

after, on Tuesday, June 7, 2015, was scheduled to begin an arbitration proceeding with the

American Arbitration Association styled Mike Pile BMW v. Lay Construction, LLC, Cause No.

01-14-0001-7427. Both those matters resolved during the afternoon of Thursday July 3, 2015.

Because of these other matters, counsel was unable to complete his client’s response by the

deadline, today.

       Appellee’s brief in the in this matter is due today, July 6, 2015. By this motion, appellee

requests an order extending the time to file appellee’s brief to Monday, July 13, 2015.

       Appellee has requested no previous extension of time in this appellate cause. Counsel for

appellee requires additional time in which to file this brief because of the following

circumstances described supra.

       No party will be prejudiced by the extension requested herein.

                                                 1
                                          Conference

        Counsel attempted to confer with pro se Appellant on July 6, 2015, and Appellant

counsel did not respond at all. Counsel has therefore received no agreement or opposition to

this motion.

                                       Prayer for Relief

        Therefore, appellee respectfully requests that this Court issue an order granting the

extension the time for the filing of the appellant’s brief in the above case to Monday July 13,

2015.

                                            Respectfully submitted,
