TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

COMES NOW, Appellant/Respondent, Maribel Hill, by and through her appellate

counsel of record, Marisol Lopez, and moves this Court for an extension of time to file

Appellant’s Reply brief;

3) Appellant’s attorney has been out sick and is still currently sick;

4) Next week is Thanksgiving so Appellant’s attorney will only have half a week to

work, provided Appellant’s attorney is well enough by then to go in, and will need

to try to catch up on what all has transpired with cases while being out to make

sure deadlines are not missed on cases;

5) Appellant is requesting a three week extension, making Appellant’s reply brief due

December 17, 2025.

extended to December 17, 2025.

Court hereby:

• Grant this Motion in all its particulars;

which this Court deems them fit to receive.
