Appellants’ Attorney

APPELLANTS’ FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ BRIEF

COMES NOW RONNY PUGA AND RICKEY PUGA, Appellants,

and file this First Motion to File Appellants’ Brief.

1. Appellants filed this appeal on August 29, 2014.

2. On October 10, 2014, the Clerk’s Record was filed with this

Court.

3. On December 16, 2014, the Court Reporter’s Record was filed

with this Court.

4. On December 22, 2014, the Court Reporter’s Supplemental

Record was filed with this Court which contained the record of the second

day of a three day trial in the trial court and most of the relevant evidence.

5. The Appellants’ Brief is now due on January 15, 2015.

6. This is the Appellants’ first motion to extend the time to file

Appellants’ Brief.

7. Appellants’ appellate counsel was not Appellants’ trial counsel

so he was not already familiar with the facts and legal issues below but he

has been diligently reviewing the record below to prepare Appellants’ Brief.

There is not sufficient time before January 15, 2015, for Appellants to

adequately prepare their brief. Now, after review of the record below,

Appellants’ will request the trial court clerk by letter to supplement the

Clerk’s Record with matters Appellants believe relevant to this appeal.

8. Appellants respectfully request that this Court grant Appellants

a 30 day extension to file Appellants’ Brief.

9. Certificate of Conference. Counsel for Appellants has

conferred with counsel for Appellee, BARBARA SALESI, now the

ESTATE OF BARBARA SALESI, DECEASED, regards this motion, and

this motion is opposed.

Wherefore, premises considered, Appellants respectfully request that

the deadline to file Appellants’ Brief be extended to February 16, 2015.
