                    MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

      Pursuant to TRAP 10.5, Appellant requests an extension of two weeks to

correct certain technological deficiencies in its brief filing which were noted by the

court staff today. Appellant's counsel currently does not have the technologies in

place to correct these deficiencies, and will be out of the country from the original

due date of January 12, 2015 until January 19, 2015. Appellant respectfully

requests an extension until January 26, 2015 to file its brief to give ample time to

obtain the necessary technologies and correct the deficiencies. No previous

extensions have been granted

      This motion is filed not for the purpose of delay, but in the interest of justice.
