ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANTS
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., ask the Court
to extend the time for filing their appellants’ brief by five days to and including
Tuesday, November 3, 2015.
1.
Information Required by Rule 10.5,
Tex. R. App. P.
The following information supports this request.
(i) Appellants’ reply brief is currently due to be filed October 29, 2015.
(ii) Appellants request that the deadline for filing their brief be extended by five
days to and including Tuesday, November 3, 2015.
(iii) This is Appellants’ first request to extend the reply briefing deadline.
2.
Facts Explaining the Need to
Extend the Reply Briefing Deadline
Counsel is unable to complete the appellants’ reply brief and secure the
necessary client review and approval by the current deadline. Besides work on this
brief, Greg Smith, lead counsel on appeal, has been and will be required to divide
his available briefing time among the following matters:
(i) No. 13-0986, Southwestern Energy Production Company vs. Toby Berry-Helfand and
Gery Muncey, In the Supreme Court of Texas (oral argument);
2
(ii) Attendance at Advanced Civil Appellate Practice Course (Dallas video
presentation);
(iii) No. 6:14-cv-00718-MHS, UNUM Life Insurance Co. v. Blasingame, In the Sixth
Court of Appeals, Texarkana, Texas, (summary-judgment briefing); and
(iv) No. 12-0517, Harleton Oil & Gas, Inc. v. Frank M. Bufkin, III, et al., In the 71st
Judicial District Court of Harrison County, Texas (summary-judgment hearing
preparation).
3.
This motion is not sought solely for delay, but in the interest of justice and
to ensure that Appellants’ reply brief sufficiently aids the Court’s decisional
process.
4.
Conference with Opposing Counsel
Keith Dollahite, counsel for Appellees, states that the relief requested in this
motion is unopposed.

5.
Conclusion and Prayer
Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., pray that the
Court would extend the time for filing their appellants’ reply brief by five days to
and including Tuesday, November 3, 2015.
Respectfully submitted,
