TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Appellees James Reeder and

Eddie Corbitt file this Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File

Appellees’ Brief. In support of the 30-day extension requested in this motion,

Appellees would respectfully show the Court the following:

1. The undersigned, Appellees’ lead appellate counsel, has been and

will be involved in another matter that necessitates an extension, including:

1

a. Preparation of a response to a Motion for a New Trial due on or

about August 21, 2015 in Daudelin, et al. v. Hauk Custom Pools, LLC, et al.; 296-

01458-2015; 296th Judicial District Court, Collin County;

b. Preparation for and participation in a hearing on Defendant’s

Motion for New Trial on August 24, 2015 in Daudelin, et al. v. Hauk Custom Pools,

LLC, et al.; 296-01458-2015; 296th Judicial District Court, Collin County; and

c. Preparation of a reply to Appellees’ Brief due on August 21, 2015 in

Bagwell, et al. v. BBVA Compass, et al.; 05-14-01579-CV; Fifth District of Texas at

Dallas, Court of Appeals.

2. Because of these and other scheduling conflicts, the undersigned

believes that a 30-day extension will be necessary in order to prepare and

adequate brief in this case.

WHEREFORE, Appellees James Reeder and Eddie Corbitt respectfully

pray that the Court grant this unopposed motion and extend the time to file

Appellees’ Brief to September 21, 2015.
