App. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellants, Skyline EMS, Inc. & Juan “Johnny” Cordero file this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellants’ Brief. The Appellants’ Brief is currently due on April 13, 2015. Counsel for Appellants request a 30-day extension of time to file its Appellants’ Brief, making the brief due on May 13, 2015. This is the first request for extension of time to file the Appellants’ Brief. Counsel for Appellants relies on the following reasons, in addition to the routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, to explain the need for the requested extension: • The undersigned counsel will be traveling out-of-state on firm-related matters on April 8, 2015. • The undersigned counsel for Fitness International, LLC, is preparing for a deposition in the case, styled Fitness International, LLC, v. Glenn Hegar, Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, and Ken Paxton, Attorney General of The State of Texas; Cause No. D-1-GN-14-003869; in the 98th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, to be held on April 9, 2015. • The undersigned counsel for Kroger Texas, L.P., is preparing for a hearing in the case, styled Kroger Texas, L.P., v. Glenn Hegar, Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, and Ken Paxton, Attorney General of The State of Texas; Cause No. D-1-GN-14-001929; in the 201st Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, to be held on April 13, 2015. Counsel for Appellants’ seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a cogent and succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented. Given the other time commitments imposed on counsel, it will not be possible to prepare the Appellants’ Brief by April 13, 2015. This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done. The undersigned has conferred with David Henry Cavazos IV, counsel for the Plaintiff/Appellee, and he has indicated that he does not oppose this motion. All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the counsel signing this motion; therefore no verification is necessary under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2. PRAYER FOR RELIEF For the reasons set forth above, Appellants request that this Court grant this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellants’ Brief and extend the deadline for filing the Appellants’ Brief up to and including May 13, 2014. Appellants request all other relief to which they may be entitled.
