APPELLANT’S THIRD MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING
               OF APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW THE APPELLANT, by and through his appointed

attorney of record, Paul M. Evans, in the above entitled and numbered

cause, and moves this Court, to grant the Appellant’s Third Motion to

Extend Time for Filing Appellant’s Brief, and, in support thereof, would

show the Court as follows:

                               I.

      Appellant’s Brief was due before this Court on November 23, 2015.

A previous Motion to Extend Time was filed on September 17, 2015, and

was granted the same date. A second Motion was filed on November 2,

2015, and was granted the following date.
                                 II.

      The undersigned counsel requires more time to complete the research

of the issues presented by the instant appeal and drafting of the Appellant’s

Brief. Counsel would hereby respectfully request the deadline be extended

to January 8, 2016.

      Counsel had anticipated that he would be able to complete the

Appellant’s Brief in the period falling between November 2 and November

23—the date of the previous deadline and the new deadline requested in

Counsel’s previous Motion to Extend, respectively—but personal health

issues hampered his ability to perform the labor needed to complete the task

at that time, and the resumption of everyday court dockets after the

Thanksgiving holiday has severely curtailed his ability to devote attention to

the instant matter.

      The issues involved in the instant appeal are not complex, and

Counsel anticipates he can easily tender a completed Appellant’s Bried by

no later than January 8, 2016.

                                 III.

      This Motion is not made for purposes of delay, but so that justice

might be served.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Defendant respectfully

prays that this Court, upon good cause shown, grant the Appellant’s Third

Motion to Extend Time for Filing Appellant’s Brief.

                                          Respectfully submitted,
