On Appeal from the 145th Judicial District Court Nacogdoches County, Texas

APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: COMES NOW, Appellees, Donald Roger Mills, and wife, Rhonda Mills and

Beverly Mills Pool, and file this their Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to

File Brief, and would show this Honorable Court as follows:

1.

Appellees’ brief is currently due to be filed in this Court on December 16,

2015. Appellees respectfully request that the deadline to file Appellees’ Brief be

extended to January 15, 2016.

1 2.

This is the first request for an extension of time to file their brief.

3.

The undersigned counsel has had various and numerous commitments to

handle matters, including litigation matters, for other clients prior to December 16,

2015, which have interfered with and impeded the undersigned counsel’s ability to

complete Appellee’s Brief in a timely and effective manner.

In addition, the undersigned has had out of town trips due to the

Thanksgiving holidays and will be working with a limited staff due to vacations

during the month of December. Further, the undersigned has out of town trips

scheduled for two days before Christmas and Christmas day, all of which are work

days.

Because of such trips and due to the various commitments to handle matters

for other clients during the thirty (30) day period following the filing of

Appellant’s brief in this appeal, the undersigned will be unable to complete in a

timely and effective manner Appellee’s brief in this appeal by its original due date.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees respectfully pray

that the Court of Appeals grant Appellees’ Unopposed Motion for Extension of

Time to File Brief and that the deadline be extended to January 15, 2016, and for

such other and further relief to which the Court of Appeals deems appropriate.

2 Respectfully submitted,
