Zeig Electric, Inc., Appellee. _________________________________________ On Appeal from the 397th District Court of Grayson County, Texas Hon. Brian Gary, District Judge _________________________________________ UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF _________________________________________ To the Honorable Court: Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Appellant Viking Healthcare, LLC (“Viking”) files this Unopposed Second Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief seeking an additional extension of 14 days to file the Appellant’s Brief in this case. In support of the requested 14-day extension, Viking would respectfully show the following: 1. Viking sought and received one previous extension of time to file its brief in this case, which makes the current due date for the Appellant’s Brief November 11, 2015. 2. For the following reasons, Viking requests an additional extension of 14 days to file the Appellant’s Brief, which would make the new due date for the Appellant’s Brief Wednesday, November 25, 2015. 3. The undersigned, who is chiefly responsible for preparing the brief, has been and will be involved in other matters that necessitate an extension, including: a. Preparation of an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the National Black Chamber of Commerce that was filed on November 3, 2015 in Samsung et al. v. Apple Inc., No. 2014-1802, pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit; and b. Various matters following a trial that concluded on October 23, 2015 in Johnson v. Emerson Electric Co. et al., No. 048-268665-13, pending in the 48th District Court of Tarrant County, Texas. 4. Because of these and other scheduling conflicts, the undersigned believes that a 14-day extension will be necessary in order to prepare an adequate brief in this case. 5. This is Viking’s second request for an extension of time, and it is not opposed. 2 WHEREFORE, Appellant Viking Healthcare, LLC respectfully prays that the Court grant this unopposed motion and extend the time to file its Appellant’s Brief to November 24, 2015.
