                                    -1-
TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:

         COMES NOW, APPELLANTS’ AIMEE HARVEY, ET. AL., respectfully

showing the Court as follows:

         This is Appellants’ first unopposed motion for extension of time to file its

brief.     The Appellants’ brief is due on November 23, 2015. Appellant moves

the Court for a 50-day extension.            This extension is necessary is because

Appellants’ Counsel has had an extremely busy schedule the past forty-five (45)

days, in completing discovery and getting ready for trial in two cases, where trials

were set.     The record in this matter was also delayed in some form. Appellants’

Counsel was also set for trial in criminal district court as well.

         Appellants’ Counsel believes a 50-day extension would allow the response

brief for appellee to submitted after the holiday period and not cause an

inconvenience regarding preplanned travel arrangements for any involved parties.

                                      PRAYER

         Appellants’ move the Court for a 50-day extension to file their brief and for

all other relief to which he is entitled.


                               [signature page follows)




                                            -2-
