Appellee’s brief was is due on September 21, 2015 2. Appellee requests an additional seven (7) days to file her brief. This extension would be to September 28, 2015.

3. This is Appellee’s first request for leave to extend time to file her brief.

4. Appellee requests more time because appellee’s attorney requires time to obtain and finalize the brief. Appellee’s attorney experienced a death in his family this month that required travel and time away from his office. This event also unfortunately coincided with appellee’s assistant’s educational leave. These events left appellee’s attorney short staffed temporarily, and resulted in backlog in appellee’s attorney’s calendar.

5. Appellee respectfully requests the she be given leave to extend time to file her brief in this cause to September 28, 2015.

Respectfully Submitted, /s/ Eddie L. Gomez _____________________ Eddie L. Gomez TBN 24055562 Eddie Gomez, P.C.
