REDDELL THE REDDELL FIRM PLLC 100 Highland Park Village, Suite 200 Dallas, Texas 75205 Telephone: 214/295-3031 Additional Counsel for Appellees APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING ANSWERING BRIEFS 3 TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: Pursuant to Rule 10.5 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Hugh Duncan, Raymond Boytin, Howard Weissberg, Jeffery Whalen, Robert Fioravanti, Walter Schwimmer, and The Edward J. Goodman Life Income Trust and The Edward J. Goodman Generation Skipping Trust, Appellees in the above-entitled and numbered cause, request an extension of time within which to file their answering briefs. In support of this request, Appellees respectfully represent to the Court as follows: 1. On April 27, 2015, Appellants filed a notice of appeal. Appellants filed two separate opening briefs on September 28, 2015. 2. Pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Appellees’ answering briefs are currently due on October 19, 2015. Appellees seek a modest extension, until November 5, 2015, to file their briefs. 3. No extension of time to file Appellees’ briefs has previously been sought or granted. 4. Good cause for the two-week extension exists for the following reasons. First, Appellees need additional time to prepare and file their briefs due to professional responsibilities to be discharged by the attorneys responsible for handling this action. The attorney primarily responsible for preparing Appellees’ APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING ANSWERING BRIEFS 4 answering briefs has multiple briefing deadlines in other matters during the last two weeks of October 2015. 5. Second, beginning the week before Appellees’ answering briefs are due, the offices of Appellees’ lead counsel will begin an extensive, month-long renovation. During the initial phase of the renovation, counsel responsible for preparing Appellees’ answering briefs will be without an office and likely without access to many of the documents and files necessary to prepare the answering briefs. The renovation will also displace and disrupt the support staff necessary to prepare the briefs for filing. 6. Third, Appellants have filed two separate opening briefs raising different arguments. Collectively, the briefs total 83 pages. Moreover, the record on this class certification appeal spans more than 4,500 pages. Counsel need more than the 20-day period prescribed by Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure to review the voluminous record, analyze Appellants’ arguments, confer with co-counsel, and prepare and file Appellees’ answering briefs. Thus, an extension is warranted. 7. Counsel for Appellees conferred with counsel for Appellants prior to filing this request. Appellants do not oppose the extension requested. 8. This motion is not for the purpose of delay. APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING ANSWERING BRIEFS 5 Therefore, Appellees respectfully request that this motion be granted, and that the time within which they must file their answering briefs be extended to November 5, 2015.
