                                        OF RETIREMENT VALUE, LLC




                                                                                      1
         COMES NOW, Appellee, Eduardo S. Espinosa, in his Capacity as Receiver of

Retirement Value, LLC, and request the Court to extend the time to file Appellee’s Brief.

Time to File Brief in accordance with Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b) and Tex. R. App. P.

38.6(d).

                                     A. Introduction

         1.    Appellant filed its brief on March 27, 2015.

         2.    Appellee’s brief is due on May 29, 2015.

         3.    Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 38.6(b) states that the appellee's

brief must be filed within 30 days after the date the appellant's brief was filed. Appellee

now asks the Court to grant its motion to extend time for thirty days to file appellee’s

brief.

                               B. Arguments & Authorities

         4.    The Court may extend the time for filing a brief under Texas Rule of

Appellate Procedure 38.6(d).

         5.    Appellee seeks an extension in this case because Appellee is working on

two appellate briefs in separate appeals, and counsel for Appellee has depositions

scheduled in other cases requiring him to travel out of state during the next few weeks.

         6.    Counsel for Appellant does not oppose this motion and has agreed to the

extension sought.

         7.    There has been one previous extension granted regarding the filing of

Appellee’s brief.



                                                                                           2
       8.     Appellants had approximately seven months in which to file their brief

from the date they filed their notice of appeal.

                                         C. Prayer

       9.     For these reasons, Appellee Eduardo S. Espinosa, in his Capacity as

Receiver of Retirement Value, LLC asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file

the appellee’s brief until June 29, 2015.

                                            Respectfully submitted,
