Appellee’s brief is due to be filed on April 24, 2015. Appellee respectfully requests a thirty-day extension of time, until May 24, 2015, to file her brief. Appellee is not filing this motion for the purpose of delay, but in the interest of justice. UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF Page 1 II. Appellant Richard Parker requested and was granted two unopposed extensions of time to file his Appellant’s brief. III. Appellee has been represented in this appeal by her trial counsel, Lance Hinson. Appellee has now determined that it would be in her best interest to be represented on appeal by an attorney who focuses his practice on appellate law. As such, Appellee hired Chad Ruback to be her lead appellate counsel. Ruback is filing his notice of appearance of counsel and designation of lead counsel contemporaneously with this motion. Ruback is busy preparing the following other appellate briefs: (1) an appellant’s brief in LBSP, Inc. Forest Dale, Inc., 05-14-01295-CV in the Dallas Court of Appeals, due on April 15, 2015; and (2) an appellant’s reply brief in Meyer v. Meyer, 05-14-00655-CV in the Dallas Court of Appeals, due on May 15, 2015. Consequently, Ruback will be unable to complete Appellee’s brief in this case by the April 24, 2015 deadline.
