                    APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO
                       EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

         COMES NOW Cecilia Obilom (Appellee) and for her Unopposed Motion to

Extend Time to File Brief shows as follows:

                                                      I.

         On December 13, 2016, Appellant filed her brief with this court. Appellee’s

brief would be due on or before January 12, 2017, or thirty (30) days after Appellant’s

brief.

                                                    II.

         Under normal circumstances Appellee’s Counsel’s workload, especially certain

activities required at the end of the calendar year, would require Counsel to request

additional time to file Appellee’s brief. In addition to that workload, Counsel was

diagnosed with pneumonia on December 27, 2016 and was unable to work more than

an hour or so a day for a full week. Counsel’s work capacity is still somewhat

limited, and Counsel is unable to complete Appellee’s brief by the date due.

                                                  III.

      Because of the factors described above, Appellee’s counsel requests an

extension of time until February 24, 2017 to file Appellee’s brief.

                                               Prayer

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellee prays that the time by

which Appellee must file her brief be extended to February 24, 2017.
