                                                                Appellee

                          TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF
                _______________________________________________

       Appellee Lowe’s Home Centers, Inc. files this motion seeking an additional thirty

days of time to file its Appellee’s Brief. In support thereof, Appellee states as follows:

                                             I.
                                      INTRODUCTION

       1.      Appellee’s Brief is currently due on April 20, 2015. Appellee seeks an

extension of thirty days to file its brief, making it due on May 20, 2015. This is

Appellee’s first request for extension, and the requested extension is unopposed.

                                       II.
                             ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES

       2.     Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d),

obligations of Appellee’s counsel, Sheri Caldwell.

       3.     Sheri Caldwell is one of Appellee’s counsel and is responsible for

preparing and filing Appellee’s Brief.      The following obligations of Ms. Caldwell

necessitate the requested extension:

              a.     Petition for Review due on April 29, 2015 in the Texas Supreme

Court in Gilberto Rincones v. WHM Custom Services, Inc., et al., Cause No. 13-11-

Appeals in Jennifer Johnson v. Oxy USA, Inc., Cause No. 14-14-00831-CV;

              c.     Preparing and filing an Application for Temporary Restraining

Order, Temporary Injunction and Permanent Injunction during the week of April 13,

2015, as well as attending the hearing to obtain the temporary restraining order on April

15, 2015 in CloudLogix, LLC v. Robert K. Langhorne III, et al., Cause No. DC-15-04163,

in the 95th District Court of Dallas County, Texas;

              d.     Preparing for and taking a deposition in Wright-Jones v. Baylor

                                             2
             e.     In addition, various other internal deadlines and projects have

prevented counsel from preparing Appellee’s Brief in this matter

      4.     This Motion for Extension is unopposed and is not sought for delay

purposes only but so that justice may be done.

                                           III.
                                      CONCLUSION

      Appellee respectfully requests that the Court grant its first request for extension of

time to file Appellee’s Brief and order that Appellee’s Brief is due on May 20, 2015.
