This is the first request for extension of time to file ESG’s reply brief. ESG and RLJ each previously requested one 30-day extension of time to file the Appellant’s and Cross- Appellant’s opening briefs and one 30-day extension of time to file corresponding response briefs. In addition to the routine matters that counsel must attend to in daily practice, counsel for ESG is preparing for the following matters: 1. Mediation of six related cases for breach of contractual duties involving healthcare services on July 7, 2015; 2. Poulos v. Neidich, No. 2013-CA-11693, in the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County Florida, Preparation for Trial Setting on August 17, 2015; and 3. Suncoast Post-Tension v. Peter Scoppa, et al., No. 4:13-cv-3125, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, preparation for docket call and trial on August 28, 2015. 3 Counsel for ESG 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. This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done. Counsel for ESG has conferred with Michael W. Huddleston, counsel for the Cross-Appellant, and he has indicated that his client 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, ESG requests that this Court grant this Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Reply Brief and extend the deadline for filing Appellant’s Reply Brief up to and including July 16, 2015. ESG requests all other relief to which it may be entitled. 4 Respectfully submitted, MACDONALD DEVIN, PC By: /s/ Weston M. Davis Gregory N.
