Appellant asks the Court to extend the time to file his brief.

A. INTRODUCTION

1. Appellant is Raghunath Dass, Ph.D., P.E.; Appellee is the Texas Board of Professional Engineers.
2. There is no specific deadline to file this motion to extend time. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).
3. Appellant's counsel has conferred with Appellee's counsel, who stated that she is not unopposed to this motion and the proposed new time to file brief for Appellant.

B. ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

1. The Court has the authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d) to extend the time to file a brief.
2. Appellant's brief is due on February 17, 2015.
3. Appellant requests an additional 30 days to file his brief, extending the time until March 19, 2015.
4. Three previous extensions has been granted to extend the time to file Appellant's brief.
5. Appellant needs additional time to file his brief because appellant's attorney continuing illness and interfering symptoms put him way behind in his work obligations, and while his optimism caused him to project an earlier recovery and "catch up" day, he is still not yet dug out, but is getting close to being so. Furthermore, Appellant has recently retained another attorney to assist Mr. Hall, a solo prctitioner, with the preparation of the brief to address the difficulty the illness has caused. Additionally, because of unresolved confusion regarding the District Clerk's filing a
