         INWOOD FOREST COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION,

Appellant, in the above-styled and numbered cause, file this Appellant’s Motion for

Extension of Time to File Reply Brief on the Merits and requests that the Court enter

an order extending the time for the filing of its Reply Brief with the Court through,

and including, July 17, 2015, and in support thereof would respectfully show the

following:

         1.       This is Appellant’s first request for an extension of time—for one

additional week—to file its Reply Brief. This motion is not sought for delay only but

so that justice may be done.

         2.        Furthermore, Mr. Russell, counsel for Appellant and chief brief-writer,

needs additional time to prepare the Reply Brief in light of being chief brief-writer in

Cause No. 15-20213; Evanston Insurance Company vs. Lapolla Industries, Inc.; in the

U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which said brief is also currently due on July

13, 2015.

                               CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE

         Counsel for Appellant has contacted counsel for Appellees regarding this

motion, and Appellees’ counsel, has indicated that they are not opposed to this Motion

for Extension.

         WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Appellant respectfully prays

that the Court grant its Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply Brief and extend



171327-00331 DBR 7/7/2015 00979216.WPD 1      -2-
the time for it to file Appellant’s Reply Brief on the Merits through, and including,

July 17, 2015.



                                            Respectfully submitted,
