                     ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANT
                     GUAM INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC.

                       1
TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

       Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), appellant Guam Industrial Services, Inc. moves

for an order extending the November 24, 2015 due date for its appellant’s brief to and

including December 23, 2015 (a 29 day extension). In support of its motion, appellant

respectfully offers the following:

       1.     Appellant’s brief is due on November 24, 2015.

       2.     Appellant seeks a 29 day extension.

       3.     The requested extension of time is needed because appellant’s attorney’s

              schedule, family obligations, and time commitment to other cases has

              prevented him from focusing on preparing appellant’s brief, appellant’s

              attorney will soon be requesting supplementation of the Clerk’s Record, and

              the additional time is needed to give appellant’s attorney adequate time to

              prepare appellant’s brief.

       4.     Appellant Guam Industrial Services, Inc. has not previously sought any other

              extensions nor has any extension been granted to appellant.

       5.     Counsel for Appellee Dresser-Rand Company does not oppose this motion.

       Therefore, appellant Guam Industrial Services, Inc. requests an order allowing it to

file its appellant’s brief on or before December 23, 2015.

                                             2
                                                  Respectfully submitted,
