       UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE
                       APPELLANTS’ BRIEF
__________________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE SECOND COURT OF APPEALS:

     NOW COME, Kellie D. Rider and Samuel Rider, Appellants and

respectfully ask the Court to extend the time to file the Appellants’ Brief, and

would show unto the Court as follows, to-wit:

                                       I.

   1. Appellants are Kellie D. Rider and Samuel Rider; Appellees are 21st

Mortgage Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, and BosHome, LLC.

                                        1
        2.    Appellants’ deadline to file their Appellants' Brief is December 27,

2017.

        3.    Appellants need additional time to file their brief because with

preparation and travel, Appellant’s counsel was out of the office the majority of

the week of December 4th due to attending oral argument in the Fifth Circuit

Court of Appeals in Case No. 16-11806; George Clark, et al v. Deutsche Bank

Nat’l Trust Co, et al. Upon returning to the office, Appellant’s counsel had dental

extractions which caused him to be out of the office for several days last week. In

addition, due to office closings for the holidays, Appellants need additional time to

file their brief.

        4.    Appellants therefore request that the Court grant an extension of 30 days

of the deadline to file their Appellants’ brief, up to and including January 26,

2018. This is the first request for an extension of time.

        5.    The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel, who indicated

this motion is unopposed.

                                        Prayer

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellants request that

Appellants’ deadline to file Appellants’ Brief be extended up to and including

January 26, 2018, and for such other and further relief, both general and special, at

law and in equity, to which they may show themselves justly entitled.

                                           2
                                    Respectfully submitted,
