    APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                 APPELLATE BRIEF (RULE 38.6(d))
__________________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Comes now Appellant, Ron Seale, Individually and as the Representative of

the Estate of Clara Lavinia Seale, Deceased, and presents this his motion for

extension of time to file appellant’s brief and in support thereof would respectfully

show unto the Court as follows:

                                         I.

      That counsel for the Appellant is scheduled for an annual vacation from

March 19, 2015 to March 27, 2015, outside the state.
                                         1
                                          II.

        That Appellant’s counsel is set for jury trial from March 31, 2015 to April 3,

2015.

                                          III.

        That during the past thirty (30) days, counsel for the Appellant has had the

following scheduled:

              Federal Administrative Hearings         –     12

              Depositions                            -      6

              Mediations                             -      1

              Court Settings                         -      9

        As a result, counsel for the Appellant has been unable to prepare the

Appellant’s brief.

                                          IV.

        No previous extensions have been granted by the Court and none have been

requested.

                                          V.

        The extension of time requested will not prejudice or inconvenience

Appellees in any manner, nor will the time for submission of this case be extended

by granting an extension of time in which to file Appellant’s brief.

                                           2
                                       VI.

        Richard L. Ray, counsel for Appellant has attempted to conference with

John F. (Jack) Walker, III, Martin Walker, P.C., counsel for Appellees, on March

20, 2015, concerning the requested extension and was told by Mr. Walker’s staff

that he informed by email that he does not opposes this motion.

                            PRAYER FOR RELIEF

        Therefore, Appellant respectfully requests that the Court issue an order

extending the time for filing the Appellant’s brief in the above case to May 1,

2015.

                                      Respectfully submitted,
