2015.

        3.    This is the first request for postponement of argument; no prior

postponements have been requested.

        4.    Appellee respectfully requests that the Court reschedule oral argument in

this case, at the Court’s convenience, after April 1, 2015, as the undersigned counsel is

currently scheduled to attend mediation in Bastrop, Texas on March 4, 2015, in Cause

No. 14-2224-A; Flowers Davis, P.L.L.C. v. Richard Jones; in the 7th Judicial District

Court, Smith County, Texas, and will be required to travel on March 3, 2015, to Bastrop,

Texas. In addition, the undersigned counsel will be taking the Defendant’s deposition in

the above-mentioned cause number on March 5, 2015, Bastrop, Texas.

        6.    This rescheduling is sought so that the undersigned will be able to be well

prepared for argument and therefore helpful to the Court. It is not sought merely for

purposes of delay.
