       Counsel has been preparing for numerous hearings in different cause numbers as well,

                                                   II.

      This extension is not sought for the purpose of delaying this appeal, but so that justice

                                                   2
may be done. Additional time is needed and is requested in order to make a complete and

thorough review of the record, review the many case, statutes, rules and "other" citations and for

counsel to prepare the Appellant's brief.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Honorable Court

grant this First Motion for Extension Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such other and further

relief, as the Court may deem appropriate.
