                                         Appellee

                         APPEAL FROM CAUSE NO. 16-0524-C;
                             COUNTY COURT AT LAW #2
                          HON. DAVID GLICKLER, PRESIDING

            UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING
                        APPELLEE’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Craig Reitz, the Appellee, moves this court to grant an extension of time to file

Appellee’s Brief, and respectfully seeks such relief based on the following:

      1.    Appellee’s brief is currently due on or before January 9, 2017. However,

additional time is needed to adequately prepare the Appellee’s brief primarily because of

previously scheduled time out of the office for the Christmas/New Year’s holidays and

commitments on other cases in early January, including an appeallate brief due in this

Court on January 17, 2017.

                      Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief – Page 1
      2.     Appellee has been unable to adequately and appropriately prepare the brief

in this appeal and additional time is needed to adequately prepare the arguments in this

case. Accordingly, Appellee seeks a two (2) week extension, until January 23, 2017 (30

days from the filing of the transcript) to file Appellee’s Brief.

      3.     This extension of time is necessary to allow for appropriate briefing and is

not being sought for delay. This is the first extension of time Appellee has sought for the

filing of the Appellee's Brief and Appellee does not foresee requesting an additional

extension.

      For these reasons, Appellee, Craig Reitz, respectfully requests that this Court

render an order extending the time for filing Appellee's Brief to and including January 23,

2017, and also requests any other relief to which he may be entitled.

                                  Respectfully submitted,
