                     b)        negotiating, drafting and finalizing international
                               transactions regarding the sale and maintenance of
                               commercial aircraft; and

                     c)        preparing for trial in Cadena v. Leal, 285th Judicial District
                               Court, Bexar County, Texas.

time to file her Appellee’s Brief.
