Appellant requests an extension of time of thirty days, to December 21, 2016. This
is Appellant’s first request for an extension of time in this case.
2. The extension will permit counsel to fully analyze the record and
relevant law and thus prepare thorough briefing to aid the Court in its consideration
of this appeal: to conduct additional legal research as appropriate, and to include
such additional factual and legal support in the briefing to present to this Court.
3. In addition to preparing the briefs in this case, counsel for Appellant,
who is the sole attorney in her law practice, has recently devoted time to discovery
responses in two different matters due November 11 and November 15, various
hearings, mediations and attending a seminar in addition to the other legal and
administrative responsibilities of managing a law practice.
4. The undersigned has attempted to confer with opposing counsel, who
has not yet responded. This extension is not sought for delay, and no party will be
prejudiced if it is granted. *3 For the foregoing reasons, Appellant respectfully requests that the Court grant
this thirty-day extension to file her brief, creating a new deadline of December 21,
2016.
