THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS; THE CHISHOLM TRAIL SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT; AND THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, APPELLEES. On Appeal from the 201st Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING BRIEF __________________________________________________________________ TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS: Appellee the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) in the above-styled and numbered cause, and pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), moves that the Court extend the time for the PUC to file its Appellee’s Brief and respectfully shows as follows: I. The PUC’s Appellee’s Brief is currently due on November 21, 2016. The PUC seeks a 23-day extension, which would make the brief due on December 14, 2016. II. Counsel for the PUC seeks this extension because of heavy workload and other deadlines in their cases, including a hearing on the merits held in district court on November 8, response briefs due in the Texas Supreme Court on November 14 and 22, and a hearing on pleas to the jurisdiction and discovery in district court on November 29. This extension is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done. This is the PUC’s first request for extension of time to file its Appellee’s Brief. Prayer For the foregoing reasons, the PUC asks the Court to grant this Unopposed Motion to Extend Time for Filing Brief and extend the deadline for the PUC to file its Appellee’s Brief to December 14, 2016.
