REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE APPELLANT'S APPEAL BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:
COMES NOW Appellant and respectfully requests a two-week extension of time in
which to file Appellant's Appeal brief. This is a first request for extension of time. The
Appellant's brief is currently due December 7, 2015. If this extension request is granted,
Appellant's Appeal brief will be due December 21,2015.
The Appellant submits to the Court the following facts in support of Appellant's request
for a two-week extension of time to file Appellant's Brief.
• The responsibility for completing Appellant's Brief has been assigned to the
undersigned attorney who has entered his appearance in this Appeal on December
2, 2015.
• While Appellant's counsel have been diligent in preparation of the Brief, council
was informed on December 2 that the Clerk's Record was too large to be
transmitted to counsel by email and was instead being mailed on a CD to counsel
from the Appellate Court Clerk.
• To complete Appellant's Brief with proper citations to the page numbers of the
Clerk's Record, Appellant requests this extension of time to allow for the receipt
of the Clerk's Record from the Court.
• Counsel expects to receive the Clerk's Record in the next few days but possibly
not before the current due date of December 7 and therefore respectfully requests
this two-week extension.
