Appellees.
On Appeal from Cause No. 13-04720-C26
261h District Court, Williamson County, Texas
Han. Billy Ray Stubblefield, Judge Presiding
UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE BRIEF OF APPELLEE VENDOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
Comes now, VENDOR RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, INC. ("Appellee") and respectfully
move the Court to extend the time to file APPELLEE'S BRIEF by 30 days to April 3, 2015 and
for said motion would show the Court as follows:
A. Background
1. The notice of appeal for this cause was filed on August 26, 2014 and the Clerk's
Record was filed on November 6, 2014.
2. The Reporter's Record was filed on November 17, 2014. Appellant's brief was filed
on February 2, 2015, after a notice of late brief and the granting of an unopposed extension.
3. Appellee's brief is currently due on March 4, 2015. Appellee requests an additional 30
days to file Appellee's brief, extending the due date to April 3, 2015.
B. Argument & Authorities
4. No rule limits the time to file this motion to extend. The Court may grant an extension
of time under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d).
5. No previous extension of time to file Appellee's brief has been granted nor sought in
this matter.
6. Appellee asks that the Court grant an extension of time to file Appellee's brief from
such due date, or such other date as the court calculates, until April 3, 2015. Appellee's counsel
has been unable to devote an appropriate effort to preparation of the brief due to professional and
personal demands on Appellee's Counsel's time. During the briefing period, Appellee's counsel
had due two motions for summary judgment and two answers for suits filed in federal court in
addition to his usual case load and court appearances. In addition, Appellee's counsel had three
significant family obligations during the briefing period that have made it difficult to work
during the evenings and on weekends.
D. Prayer
7. For these reasons, Appellee asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file its brief
until April3, 2015 and grant Appellee such other and further reliefto which it may be entitled or
is in the interest of justice.
