UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

Appellee Colorado Republican Party (“CRP”), by its undersigned counsel, hereby moves

for a 30-day extension of time, to and including May 11, 2015, in which to file its Answer Brief

in the above-captioned appeal. In support, CRP states as follows:

1. Appellant Colorado Ethics Watch filed its Opening Brief on March 6, 2015.

Accordingly, CRP’s Answer Brief is due on or before April 10, 2015.

2. Undersigned counsel, who has primary responsibility for drafting the Answer

Brief on CRP’s behalf, will be out of town on vacation during the week of March 30, 2015. In

addition, recent changes in CRP leadership require counsel for the CRP to meet with the new

leadership concerning, among other things, this appeal. Counsel has not yet had an opportunity

to meet with CRP’s new leadership.

3. Accordingly, CRP respectfully moves for a 30-day extension of time, to and

including May 11, 2015, in which to file its Answer Brief. This extension of time will give

counsel, in the exercise of diligence, sufficient time to meet with the new party leadership, and

prepare and file the Answer Brief.

4. Undersigned counsel has conferred with counsel for Colorado Ethics Watch

concerning this requested extension. Colorado Ethics Watch does not oppose this extension of

time. CRP has not previously requested any extensions of time in this appeal, and the granting of

this request will not unduly delay the progress of this action or prejudice any party.

Respectfully submitted this 27th day of March, 2015.
