APPELLANT'S THIRD MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellant, Randal Oneal Mathis, moves to extend the time for filing his brief, and
shows the Court the following:
1. The deadline for the filing of the brief is August 3, 2017.
2. The length of the extension sought is two weeks, that is until Thursday,
August 17, 2017.
3. Appellant seeks an extension because his counsel had a legal assistant
unexpectedly terminate her employment and his other legal assistant had a pre-scheduled
vacation which left his office short-handed.
4. The undersigned attorney would further show that this is Appellant's final
request for an extension.
5. Appellant's attorney of record, the undersigned, has conferred with Appellee's
attorney of record, Ebb B. Mobley, and Mr. Mobley is not opposed to this motion.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Therefore, Appellant respectfully requests that the Court issue an order extending
the time for filing the Appellant's Brief, in the above case to Thursday, August 17, 2017.
Dated: July 28, 2017
