Besides work on this brief, Greg Smith, lead counsel on appeal, has been and will be required to divide his available briefing time among the following matters: (i) No. 13-0986, Southwestern Energy Production Company vs. Toby Berry-Helfand and Gery Muncey, In the Supreme Court of Texas (reply brief on merits); 2 (ii) No. 12-14-00288-CV, J.

Bufkin, III, et al., In the 71st District Court of Harrison County, Texas (responses to three motions for summary judgment). 3. This motion is not sought solely for delay, but in the interest of justice and to ensure that Appellants’ brief sufficiently aids the Court’s decisional process. 4. Conference with Opposing Counsel Keith Dollahite, counsel for Appellees, states that the relief requested in this motion is unopposed. 5. Conclusion and Prayer Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., pray that the Court would extend the time for filing their appellants’ brief by 30 days to and including Monday, June 8, 2015. 3 Respectfully submitted, /s/ Greg Smith Greg Smith State Bar No. 18600600 RAMEY & FLOCK, P.C. 100 East Ferguson, Suite 500 Tyler, TX 75702 Telephone: (903) 597-3301 Facsimile: (903) 597-2413 gsmith@rameyflock.com Wesley Hill State Bar No. 24032294 WARD, SMITH & HILL, PLLC P.
