Subject: United Pacific Reliance v. Welch, Case 305199
30 Day Extenstion to Time to Answer Summons

Dear Mike,

Your summons in the above matter was received on August 6, as shown in my record. This is to request a 30 day extension to respond. I do not intend to contest UPR's entitlement; however, additional time may provide opportunity to explore a solution satisfactory to your client.

Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
