The current deadline for filing Appellees’ brief is December 30, 2015. 2. Appellees request a two-week extension of time for filing their brief, thus creating a new deadline of January 13, 2016. This is the Appellees’ first motion for extension of time to file their brief. No unnecessary delay will result with the granting of this extension. 3. Appellees rely upon the following facts to reasonably explain their need for this extension: Appellees’ brief is currently due between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, during which time counsel for Appellees has a vacation scheduled, counsel’s office will be closed for several days, and the days that counsel’s office will be open, there will be a greatly reduced staff. Appellees respectfully request that this honorable Court grant them a two- week extension for filing their brief, thus creating a due date of January 13, 2016. Appellees further request all other appropriate relief to which they may be entitled. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Krystal E. Riley Krystal E.
