TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY,
Appellee.
Appeal from the 345th Judicial District Court,
Travis County, Texas
FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION
OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S RESPONSE BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to Rules 10.5(b)(1) and 38.6(d), Appellee the Texas Commis-
sion on Environmental Quality files this first unopposed motion for an
extension of time and respectfully requests a 29-day extension, until and
through November 13, 2015, to file its Response Brief.
1. The current deadline for filing Appellee’s Response Brief is
Thursday, October 15, 2015.
2. Appellee requests a 29-day extension, until November 13, 2015.
3. No previous extensions have been granted for this brief.
4. Oral argument has not been set in this case.
5. An extension until November 13, 2015, is not opposed by Appel-
lants.
6. This motion is requested because Assistant Attorneys General
Thomas Edwards and Craig Pritzlaff have been occupied with multiple
settlement negotiations, the lodging of settlement documents, and public
notice and comment in In Re: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon” in
the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010, MDL No. 2179, in the U.S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
7. No trial date has been set in the trial court, and no scheduling
order is in place in the trial court that would be impacted by an extension
of time to consider this appeal.
