2. Appellant's counsel, Mr. S. Cory Sells has been in and out of the hospital

professionals if surgery and future medical care is required. Unfortunately, this has

prevented him from dedicating the time necessary to Appellant's brief.

and factual sufficiency of every item placed before the jury. Appellant's wishes to

have adequate time to fully brief all of these issues.

3. Accordingly, Appellant's counsel respectfully requests that the Court
