ANNA INMAN

Appellant,

v.

EQUABLE ASCENT FINANCIAL, LLC.

Appellee.

On Appeal from the 392nd Judicial District Court of Henderson County, Texas, EQUABLE ASCENT FINANCIAL, LLC v. Anna Inman, Cause No. 2011B-1051

UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLEE'S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellee EQUABLE ASCENT FINANCIAL, LLC asks the Court to extend

the time to file its Appellee's Brief and will show the Court as follows:

BACKGROUND

Appellee's Brief is due on December 18, 2015. Due to the reasons stated

below, Appellee requests additional time to file its Brief.

ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

Appellee requests an additional thirty (30) days to file its Brief, extending the deadline until January 18, 2016. Appellee needs additional time to file its Brief.

Counsel for Appellee has taken over the handling of cases all over the State of Texas

that were previously handled by Anh Regent, a Houston attorney who filed

bankruptcy proceedings and closed his practice. This process has been chaotic and

difficult due to hearings being set on a daily basis throughout the state with very

little notice being provided to Appellee's clients. Counsel for Appellee is the lead

counsel in these cases and this out of the ordinary scenario has delayed his ability to

complete Appellee's brief.

Appellee requests a short extension of time to file Appellee's brief in order to

be able to complete the preparation of a brief that is concise and aids the Court in

analyzing this appeal.

No prior extensions of time have been granted to extend the deadline to file

Appellee's Brief

Appellee therefore requests an additional thirty (30) days to file its Brief.

This Motion is requested in the interest of justice and is not brought with the intent to

delay the proceedings of this matter.

PRAYER

For these reasons, Appellee asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file

Appellee's Brief until January 18, 2016.

Respectfully submitted,

CI.,_ Dan G. Young State Bar No. 22177250 JENKINS, WAGNON & YOUNG, P.C. P.O. Box 420 Lubbock, Texas 79408 (806) 796-7351 Fax: (806) 771-8755 ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLEE
