Sandra Kay Hargrove
v.
Gary M. Hargrove
Appellee’s Third Motion To Extend Time To File Brief
To the Honorable Court of Appeals:
Comes now Gary Hargrove, who is the Appellee in the above case, and files
this Motion to Extend Time to File Brief. In support of this Motion, Appellee
would show as follows:
1. The Reporter’s Record was filed in this case on August 20, 2015. The
last Supplemental Clerk’s Record was filed in this case on November 12, 2015.
Appellant filed her brief on September 21, 2015. The Court has previously granted
two extensions of time in this case. Appellee’s Brief would otherwise be due on
December 23, 2015.
2. Appellee requests that the deadline to file Appellee’s Brief be
extended for (30) days.
2
3. Good cause exists for the extension of time to file the Appellee’s Brief
in this case. Appellee’s counsel who is responsible for the preparation of the Brief
was not trial counsel and this case involves a lengthy procedural history that
required an additional supplemental clerk’s record that has now been completed
and sent to the client for review. In addition, counsel requires the additional time
to ensure adequate communication with the client prior to filing. This final
extension will allow for proper coordination in light of travel schedules and
vacation notices in final communications with the client prior to filing.
4. No party will be prejudiced by the extension of time requested, and
counsel will not oppose any effort to expedite the consideration of this case in the
future should the Court deem it appropriate, or if it is requested by the opposition.
Appellee requests that the Court extend the time for filing the Appellee’s Brief in
this case to January 22, 2016.
5. The extension of time for the Appellee is an amount of time that is not
unusual for briefs in this Court.
Wherefore, premises considered, Appellee respectfully requests the Court
3
extend the time for filing his Brief up to and including January 22, 2016.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Christopher L. Cornish
