         4.    Appellee seeks a 14 day extension. If granted, Appellee’s deadline to file its Brief

would be December 14, 2015.

         5.    Appellee requests the extension due to appellee counsel’s commitments in other

matters, which will affect counsel’s ability to devote a sufficient amount of time to file Appellee’s

Brief.

of time to file Appellee’s Brief.

that justice may be done.
