AMERICAN LEGION DEPARTMENT OF TEXAS, TEMPLE POST 133, et al.; KICKAPOO TRADITIONAL TRIBE OF TEXAS; THOMPSON ALLSTATE BINGO SUPPLY, INC.; and MOORE SUPPLIES, INC., Appellees __________________________________________________ JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE _________________________________________________ TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS: Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 2, 10.1, and 10.5(b), the parties move this Court to extend the briefing schedule for Appellees’ Motion to Dismiss Appeal. In support of their request, the parties would show the following: 1. The District Court for the 53d Judicial District in Austin signed its final judgment in American Legion Department of Texas, Temple Post 133, et al. v. Texas 1 Racing Commission, et al., No. D-1-GN-14-003700, on December 3, 2014. On December 23, 2014, Appellants moved to modify the judgment, which the district court denied on January 21, 2015. Appellants filed their notice of appeal on February 20, 2015. 2. Appellees moved to dismiss the appeal on May 6, 2015. After this Court granted Appellants’ unopposed request for a thirty-day extension, their response to Appellees’ Motion to Dismiss was due June 17, 2015. 3. On June 17, 2015, this Court granted Appellants’ Unopposed Motion to Abate Appeal for ninety days. The abatement ended September 15, 2015. 4. On September 24, 2015, this Court granted the parties’ Joint Motion to Set Briefing Schedule, and ordered Appellants’ response to Appellees’ Motion to Dismiss to be due November 2, 2015 and Appellees’ reply in support of their Motion to Dismiss to be due November 23, 2015. 5. Due to a tragedy suffered by Appellant Sam Houston Race Park, LLC, the parties respectfully request that this Court extend the deadlines in the current briefing schedule by thirty days. As such, the parties request that this Court set December 2, 2015 as the deadline for Appellants’ response to Appellees’ Motion to Dismiss. The parties also request that this Court set January 11, 2016 as the deadline for Appellees’ reply in support of their Motion to Dismiss. 2 6. The parties further request that this Court consider Appellees’ Motion to Dismiss prior to commencement of the briefing on the merits. If, after Appellees’ reply on their Motion to Dismiss is filed, this Court either denies Appellees’ Motion to Dismiss or decides to carry it with the case, the parties would request that the Court then issue a briefing schedule on the merits. 7. This is the first request for an extension of the briefing schedule set September 24, 2015. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the parties pray that this Court grant their motion to extend the briefing schedule for Appellees’ Motion to Dismiss, with Appellants’ response due December 2, 2015 and Appellees’ reply due January 11, 2016. The parties further request that this Court postpone briefing on the merits until this Court either rules on the Motion to Dismiss or, alternatively, announces that the motion will be carried with the case. The parties also request such other and further relief to which they may be entitled. 3 DATED: October 26, 2015 Respectfully submitted, By: /s/ Raymond E. White (w/ permission) By: /s/ J.
