                             CITY OF HOUSTON
                                  Appellee

     On Appeal from the 125TH Judicial District Court of Harris County,
                      Texas (Cause No. 2008-53919)

      APPELLANT’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

        Appellant asks the Court to extend the time to file her Brief.

1.      This Motion is filed by Appellant pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5

(b) and 38.6(d).

2.      The matter is on appeal from the 125TH Judicial District Court in Harris

County, Texas; Cause No. 2008-53919 styled as Joslyn Johnson, Individually

and as Executrix for the Estate of Rodney Johnson v. City of Houston. The
final order made the basis of this appeal was signed by the trial court on

November 17TH 2014.

3.    Appellant requests an extension of at least ONE HUNDRED TWENTY

DAYS (120) days from the original due date of May 1ST 2015 to file her brief.

4.    This is the second extension sought by the Appellant.

5.    The Appellee requested the trial court clerk to supplement the record

with additional documents. Those records were only made available recently,

and after the expiration of Appellant’s first extension.

      For these reasons the Appellant respectfully requests the Court to grant

an extension to file her brief.

                                        Respectfully submitted,
