Page 1 of 4
1. Appellant Joseph P. Thweatt perfected this appeal by filing a notice of
appeal on June 2, 2015. The clerk’s record and reporter’s record were filed on June 12,
2015. As a result, the current deadline for filing the appellant brief is July 2, 2015.
2. The Parties seek an extension of 21 days to file the appellant brief, that is,
an extension of the deadline up to and including Thursday, July 23, 2015. The Parties
seek this extension because they are engaged in ongoing settlement discussions that could
resolve the appeal.
3. No previous extensions of time to file the appellant brief have been
requested.
4. This Motion is a joint motion by all Parties to this appeal, and all Parties
have agreed to the requested extension.
5. The Parties do not ask for this extension for purposes of delay, but so that
justice may be served and they may best present their contentions and arguments to the
Court.
WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request that the Court grant this Joint
Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant Brief, extending the deadline for
filing the appellant brief to July 23, 2015, and grant such other relief, at law and in
equity, to which the Parties are entitled.
