  UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLEE’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

          Richard Kammen, individually and d/b/a Richard Kammen & Associates, Appellee,

moves this court to grant an extension of time to file Appellee's Brief, and respectfully

states:

          1.    Appellee’s Brief is due to be filed with this Court on May 8, 2015.

          2.    Appellee, Richard Kammen, individually and d/b/a Richard Kammen &

Associates, seeks a 20-day extension of time to file Appellee's Brief, which would make

Appellee's Brief due on or before May 22, 2015.

          3     This extension of time is necessary because due to time constraints and the

time required to conduct the research. It will be difficult for counsel for Appellee, Richard

Kammen, individually and d/b/a Richard Kammen & Associates, to adequately prepare the

brief in this appeal if the extension is not granted. Therefore, additional time is needed to

adequately prepare the arguments in this case.

          4.    Counsel for Richard Kammen, individually and d/b/a Richard Kammen &

Associates has conferred with the counsel for Appellant, The Discovery Group,

Incorporated d/b/a Preferred Corporate Housing, and he is unopposed to the motion to

extend time.

          5.    This is the first extension of time Appellee has sought for the filing of the

Appellee's Brief.


                                              2
                                 PRAYER FOR RELIEF

       For the reasons set forth above, Appellee requests that this court render an order

extending the time for filing Appellee Richard Kammen, individually and d/b/a Richard

Kammen & Associates’s Brief to and including May 22, 2015. Appellee also requests any

other relief to which it may be entitled.

                                                  Respectfully submitted,

                                                  MC CORMICK, LANZA & MC NEEL, LLP
