APPELLANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S REPLY
BRIEF
_________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellant Summit Industrial Construction L.L.C. (“Summit”) respectfully
requests an extension of time to file Reply Brief of Appellant, to which Appellee
Utica East Ohio Midstream L.L.C. (“Utica”) is not opposed.
1. Summit filed Brief of Appellant on May 12, 2015.
2. Utica filed Brief of Appellee on June 22, 2015.
3. Appellant’s Reply Brief is due July 13, 2015.
4. In accordance with Rules 38.6(d) and 10.5(b) of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure, Appellant seeks to extend the time for filing Reply Brief of
Appellant.
5. Appellant seeks an extension of twenty-one (21) days for filing Reply
Brief of Appellant, thereby extending the deadline to file the brief to August 3,
2015.
6. No previous extensions of time to file Reply Brief of Appellant have
been granted.
7. The preparation of Reply Brief of Appellant is a priority for counsel,
however due to significant commitments in other pending matters, counsel is
unable to give this matter adequate attention in order to properly research the
issues to be addressed in the reply brief. These commitments are difficult or
impossible to reschedule in the short time available. A twenty-one day extension
will make it possible for Summit to prepare a complete and concise reply that will
be useful to the Court.
8. Utica is not opposed to the request for extension of time.
PRAYER
For these reasons, Summit requests that this motion be granted, that the
Court extend the deadline to file Reply Brief of Appellant by twenty-one (21) days,
until August 3, 2015, and for any further relief at law and equity to which it may
show itself justly entitled.
Respectfully submitted,
