UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF
1. This case is on appeal from the 281st Judicial District Court of Harris
County, Texas in trial court cause number Trial Court Cause No. 2013-00767
2. Appellee’s brief was filed on or about February 18, 2015. Appellants
brief was due March 19, 2015.
3. Appellant requests an extension of time of on month from the due date,
i.e. until Monday, April 20, 2015.
4. No prior extension to file the brief has been received in this cause.
5. The need for the extension is as follows. Appellant’s counsel is a solo
practitioner. He had already prepared a draft response to the issues on appeal, but
needed to incorporate the record and additional case sites, and to put it in the form
required by the court. Counsel had regular clients experience unexpected complex
criminal matters which required Counsel to act immediately to protect their
interests. Counsel also had to prepare three complex motions and responses to
summary judgment. This in addition to counsel’s normal case load prevented him
from completing a full brief. Appellee moves for an extension to April 20, 2015.
WHEREFORE, Appellee prays that the court grant it an extension of time to
file its brief and for such other and further relief as is just.
Respectfully submitted,
