APPELLANT’S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE REPLY BRIEF
Under Rule 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Appellant Victor Lissiak, Jr.,
files this motion for an order extending the time to file Appellant’s appellate brief, and respectfully
shows the court the following:
1. The deadline for filing Appellant’s reply brief in this court is June 3, 2015.
2. Appellant seeks an order extending the time for filing Appellant’s appellate brief for
fifteen days, extending the date to June 18, 2015.
3. Appellant relies on the following facts as a reasonable explanation for the requested
extension of time. Appellant’s attorney, has been required to devote time to other client matters,
including:
(i) Continued work with attorneys of Jones Day in San Francisco, California and Bengoshi
of Jones Day in Tokyo, Japan for the “first hearing” in the District Court, Osaka, Japan in
the appeal to the Japanese High Court of an award in an arbitration proceeding in Sanyo
Electric Co., Ltd., etal v. Prem Sales, LLC, etal, Case No. 11-02, Osaka, Japanese
Commercial Arbitration Association, with final briefing due on June 2, 2015, JST.
(ii) Continued work in the case of Spa Castle Texas, LLC, etal v. Miura North America, Inc.
& JB Industrial Contractors, Inc., Cause No. 2013-10309-16, 16th Judicial District Court,
Denton County, Texas, wherein inspection of equipment at issue is scheduled during the
week of May 25, 2015.
(iii) Continued work in the case of ADM Milling Co. eta al v. Hesed Enterprises, etal v.
ADM Milling Co., etal, Cause No DC-13-13400-M, 298th Judicial District Court, Dallas
Appellant’s Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply Brief, Page 1
County, Texas, wherein motions for summary judgment are set on June 6, 2015, with
response deadline of May 30, 2015.
4. Appellant’s attorney is a sole-practitioner with a small office and limited staff and had
scheduled his work in other matters expecting the Appellee’s brief to be filed at or near the deadline
for filing the brief, May 25, 2015, thus the early filing of the Appellee’s Brief creates and causes a
substantial interruption in the Appellant’s attorney’s schedule.
5. Appellant has made no previous requests for an extension to file the Appellant’s reply
brief.
6. The extension of time requested will not prejudice or inconvenience Appellee in any
manner, nor will the time for submission of this case be extended by granting an extension of time
in which to file Appellant’s reply brief.
7. For these reasons, Appellant respectfully requests the Court to grant the Appellant a ten
day extension, to June 5, 2015, to file his reply brief.
