IN RE ESTATE OF JACK HIROMI IKENAGA, SR., DECEASED
ON APPEAL FROM THE PROBATE COURT NO. 1, BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS
CAUSE NO. 2011PC4330
SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
APPELLEES’ BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellees Jack Ikenaga, Jr., William D. Bailey, Temporary
Administrator or the Estate of Jack Ikenaga Jr., Nancy Sumners, Christine
Ikenaga, Patrick Gasiorowski, and Eric J. Goodman respectfully present this
second motion to extend time in which to file their Appellees’ Brief pursuant
to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6. One previous motion for
extension of time to file the Appellees’ Brief has been filed. In support of this
motion, Appellees would show the Court as follows:
I.
Appellees’ Brief is currently due on September 8, 2015. Appellees
intend to file a single brief, and that brief will be drafted principally by the
undersigned. Because of the events and matters described more fully below,
Appellees request an extension of an additional 15 days in which to file their
Appellees’ Brief or until September 23, 2015.
II.
The requested extension is necessary because the following matters
and issues have prevented the undersigned from completing the Appellees’
Brief and will preclude the undersigned from doing so sooner than
September 23, 2015:
1. The clerk’s record in this appeal contains numerous errors and
omissions and additional time has been expended to determine
what items need to be included in a supplemental/corrected
clerk’s record;
2. The undersigned filed the Appellants’ Brief in Dennis Rayner
and Joe Tex Xpress, Inc. v. Krista Dillon, No. 06-15-00009-CV
on August 17, 2015;
3. The undersigned completed documents necessary to perfect an
appeal to this Court from Robertson Electric, Inc. v. Select
Building Systems, Inc. et al., No. 13-212, in the 216th District
Court, Kendall County, Texas;
4. The undersigned filed a response to petitioners’ motion for
rehearing in City of Houston and Daniel W. Krueger, in His
Official Capacity as Director of Public Works & Engineering v.
Little Nell Apartments, LP et al., No 14-0473, in the Texas
Supreme Court on August 12, 2015;
5. This Court issued an opinion in Hindes v. La Salle County,
Texas, No. 04-14-00651-CV on August 26, 2015, and the
undersigned needs time to determine whether a motion for
rehearing or motion for rehearing en banc should be filed;
2
6. The undersigned has a pre-planned vacation scheduled and will
be out of state from September 4, 2015 through September 7,
2015; and
7. The undersigned’s child has been ill, which required the
undersigned to be out of the office for several days.
For all of the reasons explained above, counsel for Appellees cannot
complete the Appellees’ Brief by its current due date of September 8, 2015,
and needs an additional 15 days in which to do so.
III.
The undersigned has attempted to confer with David McLane,
appellate counsel for appellant, via email and by telephone to determine
whether this motion would be opposed. The undersigned has yet to hear
from Mr. McLane as to whether the motion will be opposed. .
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees respectfully
request that this Court grant their motion for extension of time in which to
file their Appellees’ Brief, extend the deadline in which to file the brief an
additional 15 days up to and including September 23, 2015, and grant such
other and further relief to which Appellees may be justly and equitably
entitled.
