         APPELLANT'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                       TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

      NOW COMES Appellant, JULIE FAYE MEAD, by and through

his   court-appointed    attorney   of   record,    Thomas      J.

Burbank, and files this Motion for Extension of Time to

File Appellant's Brief and would respectfully show unto

the Court as follows:

                              I.

      Appellant's Brief was due to be filed on or before

January 8, 2018.     Due to heavy court hearings, Counsel

overlooked such deadline.      In addition, counsel has not

had adequate time to review transcripts and prepare said
brief.

                          II.

    The Appellant's attorney respectfully requests a 30

day extension of time from the date of this Motion in

which to file a brief on behalf of Appellant. This

extension would render the Appellant's brief to be due on

or before February 8, 2018.

                          III.

    This request for extension is made not for purposes

of delay, but so that justice may be done.

    WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant requests

that his Motion for Extension requesting an additional

period from the date of this Motion in which to file the

Appellant's brief in this matter be granted, that said

Appellant's brief be due on or before January 11, 2018,

and for such other and further relief to which Appellant

may be entitled, whether in law or in equity.




                          Respectfully submitted,
