Honorable Donna King, Presiding
UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellee, Nationstar Mortgage LLC (“Nationstar”), respectfully moves to extend the
time for filing its brief by thirty days, to and including June 19, 2015, as follows:
1. This is an appeal from a Final Order Granting Defendant Nationstar Mortgage
LLC’s Traditional and No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion to Sever, which
the trial court signed on November 10, 2014. CR:729-30.
2. Appellant filed a notice of appeal on December 3, 2014. CR:731.
3. The clerk’s record and reporter’s record were filed on February 2, 2015.
1
4. Appellant’s brief was initially due on March 9, 2015. Appellant
subsequently filed two unopposed motions for extensions for a total of 42 days, which
were granted. Appellant filed her brief on April 20, 2015.
5. Nationstar’s brief is currently due by May 20, 2015. Nationstar seeks a
thirty-day extension of time to file its brief, to and including June 19, 2015.
6. In support of the requested extension, Nationstar would show that Daron L.
Janis, who has primary responsibility for drafting Nationstar’s brief, has had a number of
commitments during the initial briefing period, including a trial and two summary
judgment hearings, that have required his time and attention and made him unable to
prepare a brief by the current deadline. The other attorneys who are assisting Mr. Janis
with preparation of Nationstar’s brief have had similar commitments during the initial
briefing period.
7. This is Nationstar’s first request for an extension of time. As reflected in
the Certificate of Conference below, this request is unopposed.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, Nationstar prays that the Court grant this motion and extend the
deadline for filing Appellee’s Brief in this matter by thirty days, to and including June 19,
2015. Nationstar also prays for such other and further relief to which it may be entitled in
law or in equity.
