  Extension of Time to File Brief in Response to Brief of Appellant
                           Bob E. Woody
      TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellees’ opening brief currently is due October 19, 2015. Pursuant to Texas

Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d), appellees respectfully request a 60-day extension of

time until December 18, 2015 to file their Brief in Response to Appellant Bob E. Woody.

This extension is requested for the following reasons.

                                            1
       In addition to other personal and professional obligations, the undersigned will have

personal and professional responsibility for the following additional commitments during

October 2015:

             Two week trial set in the 201st Judicial District Court of Travis County,
              Texas in Cause No. GN-13-00516, Nancy Schaefer vs. Michael J. Delitta, et
              al.
             Various pre-trial hearings for November 2, 2015 trial in In re: Life Partners
              Holdings, Inc., Case No. 15-40289-RFN-11, In the United States Bankruptcy
              Court For the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division

              15-42373-rfn-11, In the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern

Although the undersigned has not given these commitments priority over the current

appeal, the undersigned could not complete the Appellees’ Brief in Response in this matter

by October 19, 2015 given the deadlines in these other matters.

       The undersigned has confirmed that appellant is unopposed to this motion and

agreed to this extension.

       No prior extensions have been previously requested or granted.

                                          Prayer

       Appellees respectfully request that the Court grant them a 60-day extension of time

to file their Brief in Response.
