Melissa N. Donimirski, Esquire David S. Eagle, Esquire Proctor Heyman LLP Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 200 919 North Market Street, Suite 1000 Wilmington, DE 19801 Wilmington, DE 19801

Re: Sutherland v. Sutherland C.A. No. 2399-VCN Date Submitted: April 8, 2015

Dear Counsel:

Plaintiff Martha S. Sutherland, as Trustee of the Martha S. Sutherland

Revocable Trust dated April 18, 1976, has moved for an extension of time to

respond to the Verified Petition for a Charging Lien (the “Petition”) filed by

Intervenor Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP. This case cannot fairly be

characterized as one that has moved through the system with alacrity. In addition,

the Plaintiff intends to obtain other counsel. Some extension is warranted; the

extension to May 6, 2015, as requested by Plaintiff seems unnecessary. Sutherland v. Sutherland C.A. No. 2399-VCN April 13, 2015 Page 2

Accordingly, Plaintiff shall respond to the Petition on or before April 30,

2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Very truly yours,

/s/ John W. Noble
