Subject: (Ethiopian Church/Seliger) REQUEST FOR EXTENSION TO FILE APPEAL BRIEF ON BEHALF OF ETHIOPIAN CHURCH
Importance: High

Mr. Seliger: Our deadline to file the appeal brief for our client is this Friday, April lOth. Due to the large volume of clients
we had this past Tuesday facing foreclosure on that day, we had to shift gears and work towards stopping the
foreclosures for these clients and we now need additional time to complete and file our appeal brief. We are requesting
your agreement to a two week extension oftime to file our brief. That would put our deadline to Friday, April 24th. We
agreed to your request for extension of time to file in this case and we hope that you will reciprocate. Thank you in
advance for your courtesy.

Sincerely,
Maria Rogers
