CV07580 UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS: Appellant respectfully presents this unopposed first motion to extend the time in which to file their Appellant’s Brief pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6. No previous motions for extension of time to file the Appellant’s Brief have been filed. In support of this motion, appellant would show the Court as follows: I. Appellant’s principal brief is currently due on March 16, 2015. Because of the events and matters described more fully below, appellant requests an extension of an additional 30 days in which to file the Appellant’s Brief or until April 15, 2015. II. The requested extension is necessary because the following matters have prevented the undersigned from completing the Appellant’s Brief and will preclude the undersigned from doing so sooner than April 15, 2015: 1. The undersigned is preparing a reply brief in Philip Wayne Hindes and Melinda Hindes Eustace v. La Salle County et al., No. 04-14-00651-CV, which is currently due on March 27, 2015; 2. The undersigned prepared motions to exclude evidence in order to meet a pretrial deadline in Martha Elvia Bolanos et al. v. General Motors et al., No. 7,478, in the 49th Judicial District Court, Zapata County, Texas; 3. The undersigned will be conducting legal research and related tasks to prepare for an oral argument to be conducted in City of San Antonio v. Casey Industrial, Inc. and Wheelbrator Air Pollution Control, Inc., No. 04-14-00429-CV, which will be held on April 2, 2015; and 4. The undersigned was nominated to run for President-Elect of the Texas Young Lawyers Association and has had expended considerable time preparing for the campaign and will be conducting a state-wide campaign during the month of March. For all of the reasons explained above, counsel for appellant cannot complete the Appellant’s Brief by its current due date of March 16, 2015, and needs an additional 30 days in which to do so. 2 III. On March 2, 2015, the undersigned conferred with Jeff Small, lead appellate counsel for appellees. Mr. Small indicated that this motion would not be opposed. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant respectfully request that this Court grant his motion for extension of time in which to file the Appellant’s Brief, extend the deadline in which to file the brief an additional 30 days up to and including April 15, 2015, and grant such other and further relief to which appellant may be justly and equitably entitled.
