ACCEPTED 03-14-00035-CV 7759602 THIRD COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 11/10/2015 10:47:08 AM JEFFREY D. KYLE CLERK No. 03-14-00035-CV FILED IN ____________________________________________________ 3rd COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS In the Third Court of Appeals of Texas 11/10/2015 10:47:08 AM JEFFREY D. KYLE Clerk In the Estate of Evelyn Landua Koehler, Deceased An Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 of Bell County, Texas The Honorable Judge Edward Johnson, Presiding Trial Court Cause No. 29,462 SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF ON THE MERITS To the Honorable Court of Appeals: Comes now Kanda Koehler, Appellee in the above case, and files this Second Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s Brief on the Merits. In support of this Motion, Appellee shows as follows: 1. Appellants filed their Brief Requesting Oral Argument on September 18, 2015. Appellee’s Brief on the Merits was initially due on October 19, 2015. 2. Appellee previously requested an extension of time, which the Court granted. The Court extended the time for the filing of Appellee’s Brief on the Merits to November 18, 2015. 3. Appellee requests a second extension of time for 30 days to file her brief. If granted, the extension would change the due date for Appellee’s Brief on the Merits to December 18, 2015. 4. Good cause exists for the extension of time to file Appellee’s Brief in this case. Counsel for Appellee has had to attend other court matters and lead counsel has been out of the country for ten days attending to mediation and legal ethics training of lawyers in the country of Uganda. Certainly, that trip was planned and anticipated, but the extent of counsel’s backlog upon return was not anticipated. 5. No party will be prejudiced by the extension of time requested. This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done. Appellants do not oppose this request. Therefore, Appellee requests that the Court extend Appellee’s file date for her Brief on the Merits to December 18, 2015. Wherefore, premises considered, Appellee respectfully requests this Court to extend the time for filing her Brief on the Merits to December 18, 2015.
