PRINE Clerk KELLY R.

Appellee/Cross-Appellant. _____________________________________________________ Appeal from the 11th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Houston, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 2009-35831 _____________________________________________________ SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND/OR EN BANC REHEARING Appellants/Cross-Appellees Kelly R. Ginn, Green-Span Profiles, L.P., Green- Span Management, L.L.C., Green-Span Enterprises, Inc., and BKG Investments, L.L.C. ("Ginn") files this Second Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion for Rehearing and/or En Banc Rehearing and asks for a ten-day extension. I. Introduction 1. Appellants/Cross-Appellees are Kelly R. Ginn, Green-Span Profiles, L.P., Green-Span Management, L.L.C., Green-Span Enterprises, Inc., and BKG Investments, L.L.C. Appellee is NCI Building Systems, Inc. 2. This Court has authority to extend the time to file a motion for rehearing and/or motion for rehearing en banc. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.8. II. Arguments and Authorities 3. This Court may extend the time to file an appellants’ motion for rehearing or rehearing en banc under the authority of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 49.8. 4. The Appellants' Motion for Rehearing is currently due on September 11, 2015. This Court issued a ninety-page opinion that has required extensive time to digest and to communicate with the clients. Appellants request additional time to narrow the issues for rehearing. 5. Moreover, the parties are currently engaged in settlement discussions that may resolve the need for any further appeal. Appellants request a ten-day extension to explore the possibility of a final resolution of this case. If an extension is not granted, and Appellants have to file a motion for rehearing even though the parties ultimately settle the dispute, the parties’ and the court’s resources will be wasted. 6. Appellants desire to extend for ten additional days the date that Appellants' motion for rehearing and/or motion for rehearing en banc is due so that the parties may finalize settlement communications and so that Appellants may submit a narrowly tailored motion that assists this Court with the resolution to this case in the event that the case does not settle. If this Motion is granted, the due date for the Appellants' motion for rehearing and/or motion for rehearing en banc would be September 21, -2- 2015. This request is made for good cause, so that justice may be done, and is not filed for the purposes of delay. One previous motion to extend time has been filed by Appellants regarding its motion for rehearing. III. Conclusion Accordingly, Appellants request that this Court grant this Motion to Extend Time to File Appellants' motion for rehearing and/or motion for rehearing en banc and requests that this Court enter an order extending the due date for its Appellants' motion for rehearing and/or motion for rehearing en banc from September 11, 2015 to September 21, 2015, and requests that this Court award any and all other relief to which it is entitled in either law or equity. -3- Respectfully submitted, WINSTEAD PC By: /s/ David F.
