Appellee Naylor asks the court to extend the time to file her brief.

                                        A. INTRODUCTION

Fargo Banlc, N.A., has been dismissed from this appeal.

2.          No rnle limits the time within which to file this motion to extend.

extend the time to file the brief.

5.          Appellee Naylor's brief is due on January 5, 2015.

6.          Appellee Naylor requests an additional twenty-five (25) days to file her brief,

extending the time until January 30,2015.

7.          No other extension has been granted.

8.          Appellee Naylor requests additional time to file her brief because her counsel has

been lillable to complete the brief by the deadline. During the past month, Appellee Naylor's

attomey has had other work that has prevented colillsel from completing the brief timely, which

includes obtaining a temporary injlillction in cause number D-1-GN-14-000207 in the 53rd

Judicial District Court of Travis County, planning and preparing for mediation in cause number
13-1351-CV, a complex company restructuring for the new year, discovery review m a

collections matter, and reviving a company forfeiture. Also, the undersigned had scheduled

extensive time out of the office in relation to the Christmas holiday and New Year, severely

limiting the time that the undersigned had to devote to the brief.

9.          The undersigned certifies that he conferred with Jason Billick of William Gammon's

office, counsel for appellee, via email and attempted in good faith to reach an agreement

concerning the subject of this motion. Mr. Billick stated he did not oppose the extension.

                                              PRAYER

        For these reasons, appellant asks the court to extend until January 30, 2015, the deadline

to file appellee Naylor's brief.
