PRINE GOPIKRISHNA P. DORAISWAMI, Clerk APPELLANT, v. PIPING TECHNOLOGY & PRODUCTS, INC. APPELLEE. APPELLANT’S SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF Appellant Gopikrishna Doraiswamy files this Second Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief under the authority of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and would respectfully show the following: 1. This is an appeal from an order of the 333rd Judicial District Court entered December 10, 2014, granting a temporary injunction in favor of Appellee. 2. Appellant’s opening brief is due to be filed on or before April 1, 2015. 3. This motion seeks an extension of time of 14 days, up to and including April 15, 2015. 4. This is Appellant’s second request for an extension to file his brief. 5. On December 30, 2014, Appellant filed a Motion to Dissolve Temporary Injunction with the trial court. That Motion was set for oral hearing in the trial court on March 20, 2015. The oral hearing was not concluded on that date and was reset to March 31, 2015. The oral hearing concluded on March 31, 2015, without a ruling from the bench. A ruling from the trial judge on the Motion to Dissolve is expected shortly. 6. Appellant seeks the 10-day extension of the briefing deadline to allow the trial court to rule on the pending Motion to Dissolve Temporary Injunction prior to briefing in this matter as the outcome of that motion may be dispositive of this appeal. Therefore Appellant Gopikrishna Doraiswamy respectfully requests that the Court extend the time for him to file his opening brief by 14 days, up to and including April 15, 2015.
