__________________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

      OAK MORTGAGE GROUP, INC. (hereinafter, when the context so

requires, referred to separately as “Oak Mortgage”), Michael H. Nasserfar,

(hereinafter, when the context so requires, referred to separately as “Nasserfar”),

Michael E. Task (hereinafter, when the context so requires, referred to separately

as “Task”), and Ty R. Gosnay (hereinafter, when the context so requires, referred

to separately as “Gosnay”) (all hereinafter referred to collectively for purposes of

APPELLANTS' UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE REPLY BRIEF PAGE 1
                                          A.

                                 INTRODUCTION

      1.     Appellants are Oak Mortgage Group, Inc., Michael H. Nasserfar,

Michael E. Task and Ty R. Gosnay. Appellee is Ameripro Funding, Inc..

      2. There is no specific deadline to file this Motion to extend time. See, Tex.

R. App 38.6(d).

      3.     This motion is unopposed.

                                          B.

                        ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

      4.     The Court of Appeals has the authority under Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 38.6 (d) to extend the time to file a brief.

      5.     Appellee's Brief was filed on October 7, 2015 and then re-filed on

October 16, 2015.

      5.     Appellants' Reply Brief is due 20 days after Appellee's Brief is file,

TRAP 38.6(c), which is on either October 27 or November 5, 2015.

      6.     Appellants' request additional days to file Appellants' Reply Brief

extending the time, if necessary, until November 2, 2015.

      7.     No previous extension has been granted to extend the time to file

Appellants' Reply Brief.

APPELLANTS' UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE REPLY BRIEF PAGE 2
      8.     Appellants need additional time to file Appellants' Reply Brief

because Appellants' counsel, Wm Charles Bundren, Esq., completed a trial on

October 29, 2015 and, additionally, Mr. Bundren is a member of the Board of

Directors of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Bar

Association and served as a moderator and board member at the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Bar Association Bench/Bar

Conference which occurred between October 21, to October 23, 2015. As a result

of these conflicts, the Reply Brief could not be completed earlier.

      9. The facts that are included in this Motion are within the personal

knowledge of the attorney signing this Motion and are certified to be true and

accurate.

                                         C.

                                  CONCLUSION

      Due to these facts, a short extension of time to file Appellants' Reply Brief is

not unreasonable, and the request for the extension is unopposed by Appellee. An

extension to complete Appellants' Reply Brief will not unreasonably delay the

prosecution of this action.

                                         D.

                                     PRAYER

APPELLANTS' UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE REPLY BRIEF PAGE 3
      For these reasons, Appellants asked the court to grant an extension of time to

file Appellants' Reply Brief until November 2, 2015.

                                Respectfully submitted,
