  APPELLANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

       Appellant Lynda Bliss ("Bliss" or Appellant") submits this unopposed motion

requesting the Court to extend the time to file Appellant's Brief.

       Appellant's Brief is currently due on June 6, 2018. There have been no previous

extensions of this briefing deadline.

       Appellant's counsel, Jeffrey R. Sandberg of the lawfirm Palmer & Manuel, LLP, is

unable to file Appellant's Brief on or before this deadline.

       On May 21, 2018, Mr. Sandberg filed the Appellant's Reply Brief in this Court in

WWLC Investment, L.P. v. Miraki in appellate cause 05-17-01126-CV. On May 21, 2018,

Mr. Sandberg filed Petitioners' Reply to the Response to the Petition for Review in the Texas

Supreme Court in appellate cause 18-0144. Additionally, Mr. Sandberg was the sole counsel

for a five-day jury trial in May 2018.

       Because of this, Mr. Sandberg is unable to file Appellant's Brief on or before June 6,

2018, and Appellant requests additional time to file Appellant's Brief.            At this time,

Appellant requests an additional thirty days to file Appellant's Brief, or a new deadline of

July 6, 2018.

       For the above reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file

Appellant's Brief in this cause an additional thirty days, extending the time for Appellant to

file Appellant's Brief to July 6, 2018.
