Active 20059078.1 1 TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS: Appellant Suzanna Eckchum respectfully files this Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief, requesting that the time for filing be extended to August 24, 2015, and in support, respectfully shows the Court the following:

1. Currently, the Brief of Appellant is due on or before July 16, 2015.

2. This extension is necessary because undersigned appellate counsel has requested that the court reporter supplement her record with proceedings included in an earlier request for the reporter’s record.

It is possible that the reporter’s record will not be supplemented in time to be adequately incorporated in the brief.

3. In addition, the demands of other litigation will prevent undersigned counsel from working on the brief in the coming weeks, including preparing for, traveling for, and trying a case in Washington state the week of July 20, 2015.

4. Further, the undersigned counsel will be out of the country from August 3, 2015 to August 13, 2015.

5. No previous extension has been requested or granted for this brief.

Active 20059078.1 2 6. This extension is not sought for purposes of delay, and the State will not be prejudiced by this extension.

For these reasons, Appellant respectfully requests that this Court grant a 40-day extension of time to file Appellant’s Brief, for a new deadline of August 24, 2015.
