P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellee, Josefino Bencomo III files this Unopposed Second Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s Brief. Appellee’s opening brief is currently due on May 4, 2015. Counsel for Appellee requests a one day extension of time to file its brief, making the brief due on May 5, 2015. This is the second request for extension of time to file the opening brief. Counsel for Appellee relies on the following reasons, in addition to the routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the need for the requested extension: Counsel incorrectly docketed the due date for the brief as being May 5 rather than May 4. Appellee’s brief Is being filed contemporaneously with this motion. Counsel for Appellee seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a cogent and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented. This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done. The undersigned has conferred with opposing counsel, and he has indicated that his client does not oppose this motion. All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the counsel signing this motion therefore no verification is necessary under Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2. PRAYER FOR RELIEF For the reasons set forth above, Appellant/Appellee requests that this Court grant this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant/Appellee’s Brief and extend the Deadline for Filing the Appellee’s Brief up to and including May 5, 2015.
