ACCEPTED 01-15-00210-CV FIRST COURT OF APPEALS HOUSTON, TEXAS 6/10/2015 12:45:05 PM CHRISTOPHER PRINE CLERK No. 01-15-00210-CV FILED IN 1st COURT OF APPEALS IN THE HOUSTON, TEXAS 6/10/2015 12:45:05 PM FIRST COURT OF APPEALS CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE Clerk HOUSTON, TEXAS FRANCISCO CALLEJA-AHEDO Appellant V. COMPASS BANK Appellee On Appeal from the 55th District Court Harris County, Texas. Trial Cause No. 2014-22168 AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW, Appellant Francisco Calleja-Ahedo and files this first motion for extension of time to file his Appellant’s Brief and would show: Appellant’s Brief is due on June 11, 2015. This is the first request for extension, although a prior motion was denied as premature based on the erroneous assumption that Appellant’s Brief was due earlier. Mr. O’Connor was hospitalized in March for eight days and underwent three procedures to stabilize his heart. Subsequently, Mr. O’Connor was again in the hospital for eleven days during the first half of May with pneumonia and continued heart complications. He still has not been cleared by his cardiologist and may have to reenter the hospital soon to implant a pacemaker. Mr. O’Connor is presently restricted in his work and other activities and cannot complete the brief by June 11, 2015. See doctor’s letter attached hereto. Appellant’s attorneys have been unable to complete Appellant’s Brief under such circumstances, which requires dealing with numerous issues and record review. WHERFORE, Appellant requests a forty-five (45) day extension to file Appellant’s Brief. Respectfully submitted, O'CONNOR, CRAIG, GOULD & EVANS By: /s/ Michael C. O’Connor Michael C.
