APPELLANT'S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
TO FILE BRRIEF
Appellant, Costella Nicole Willis, asks the Court to extend the time to file her
brief in accordance with Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b).
1. Appellant's brief is currently due on August 10, 2015.
2. There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend in accordance
with Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d). The Court has the authority to extend the time
to file the brief.
3. Appellant requests that her time to file the brief be set for October 10,
2015, as Appellant's counsel, a sole practitioner, has just completed a jury trial
and has already begun preparing for three more jury trials for the month of
August, and simply needs more time to adequately prepare a brief in this case.
4. No previous extension has been sought or granted to extend time to file
Appellant's brief.
5. Appellee, who is Pro Se, has not filed any documents in this case.
6. The parties have not agreed to this motion.
For these reasons, Appellant asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file
her brief until at least October 10, 2015.
