ACCEPTED 01-14-00872-CV FIRST COURT OF APPEALS HOUSTON, TEXAS 6/29/2015 12:00:00 AM CHRISTOPHER PRINE CLERK CASE NO. 01-14-00872-CV FILED IN 1st COURT OF APPEALS HOUSTON, TEXAS IN THE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS 6/29/2015 8:00:00 AM _______________________________________ CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE Clerk CALHOUN/HOLIDAY PLACE, INC., et al V. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. _______________________________________ On appeal from the 55th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas Cause No. 2011-56876 _______________________________________ APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS: Appellee, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., requests a 14–day extension to file its brief, and for good cause, would show as follows: 1. Appellee’s brief is due on June 29, 2015. 2. This is Appellee’s third request for an extension of time. The previous extensions were for 30 days and 7 days, respectively. 3. Appellee requests a 14–day extension to file its brief so the undersigned can adequately prepare the same. 1 4. The undersigned has not had sufficient time to prepare Appellee’s brief due to the demands of his docket during the last month, which include:  Preparing and filing a brief on the merits with the Texas Supreme Court on June 5th in the case–styled and numbered Morrison v. Whispering Pines Lodge I, LLP, Case No. 14–0318.  Preparing and filing a brief on June 8th in the case–styled and numbered, Phillips Development Realty, LLC v. LJA Engineering, LLC, Case No. 14-14-00858-CV.  Preparing and filing a brief on the merits with the Texas Supreme Court on June 12th in the case–styled and numbered Worldwide Clinical Trials v. Arnold, Case No. 14–0786.  Preparing and filing a motion for rehearing on June 15th in the case–styled and numbered, First American Title Insurance Co. v. Patriot Bank, Case No. 01–14–00170–CV.  Preparing and filing responses to motions to dismiss and motions to abstain in bankruptcy adversary proceeding where the debtor seeks an injunction against criminal prosecution in Nevada. The hearing on these motions is set for June 23rd. The case is styled and numbered D’Amico v. Nevada Property I, LLC d/b/a Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, et al, Case No. 14– 03529. 5. More important, the undersigned was retained last weekend to defend a contempt proceeding in the case–styled and numbered, Ahmed v. Martinez, Cause No. 2013–08674, in the 247th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. A full evidentiary hearing was held on June 24, 2015. A petition for writ of mandamus will be filed this week because time 2 is of the essence, as the case involves an order regarding international travel with a minor child that is scheduled for July 13, 2015. This evidentiary hearing and the preparation of the petition for writ of mandamus—which was not expected when the undersigned filed his second motion for extension of time—has prevented the undersigned from completing Appellee’s brief in this case. 6. The undersigned has also drafted other pleadings, discovery materials, attended conferences, and otherwise attended to routine litigation matters in the last month 7. Thus, additional time is needed for the undersigned to prepare and file Appellee’s brief. 8. Under Tex. R. App. P. 10.3, the undersigned conferred with counsel for Appellants, and counsel is unopposed to this motion. FOR THESE REASONS, Appellee prays that the Court grant this motion for extension of time and extend the deadline for filing Appellee’s brief to July 13, 2015. 3 Respectfully submitted, LEYH, PAYNE & MALLIA, PLLC By: /s/ Sean M.
