D/B/A Parklane West Healthcare Center files this first unopposed motion asking for a 30-day extension of time in which to file their Appellant’s Brief. This suit is before this Court on appeal from the following trial court order: Order: Defendant’s Motions to Compel Arbitration (signed by the trial court on June 13, 2014 in Cause Number 2013-CI-17605). Appellant’s brief is currently due to be filed on Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Appellant respectfully requests a 30-day extension of time to file its brief, extending the deadline to Friday, September 11, 2015. This is appellant’s first request for an extension of time to file its brief. This request is unopposed. Good cause exists for this request. The parties have agreed to mediate the underlying dispute and are presently diligently working to set a date for mediation. A 30-day extension should provide the parties the time necessary to set a mediation date and subsequently file a motion with this Court seeking an abatement of the appeal pending mediation. This extension is not sought for the purposes of delaying this appeal, but so that justice may be done. Appellant Parklane respectfully prays the Court grant this first unopposed motion for extension of time to file its brief until Friday, September 11, 2015. 2 Respectfully submitted, R.
