Henry S. Miller Brokerage, LLC § Court of Appeals FILED IN § 5th COURT OF APPEALS Appellant (Plaintiff below) DALLAS, TEXAS vs. § 5rn District of Texas 1/29/2015 6:24:04 PM § LISA MATZ Ruth Mae Sanders § Clerk Appellee (Defendant below) § Dallas, Texas

APPELLANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION TO FILE BRIEF

1. Appellant's brief is due today, Thursday, January 29 1•

2. Appellant seeks a four-day extension to Monday, February 2.

3. The undersigned Jamie Wall is the attorney responsible for preparing Appellant's

brief. On Friday, January 23, Wall was retained as new counsel for a party in a pending lawsuit in

which depositions were scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, January 26 and 27. Case study,

preparation, and attendance at the depositions consumed much of the weekend and all of January 26-

27, which unexpectedly delayed Wall's commencement of Appellant's brief. Thereafter and during

the course of preparing the brief, Wall determined that additional legal research and analysis was

necessary, which further retarded progress on the brief.

4. The brief is underway, but will not be finished and ready to file by today's deadline.

Out of an abundance of caution, Appellant seeks to extend the deadline to Monday, February 2.

5. No previous extensions to file the brief have been granted

or requested.

6. Certificate of Conference: Appellee 's counsel is Douglas C, Kittelson. In response to

Wall's telephone voice message this afternoon to confer about this motion, Kittelson sent Wall a text

message expressing his non-opposition to the extension. See Exhibit A (copy of text message).

\ 1 All dates referenced in this motion are in 2015 unless otherwise stated

Respectfully submitted,
