TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:
      Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b) and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellant

Procedure, Appellees Miguel Loya, Vitol, Inc., Michael Metz, and Antonio

Maarraoui file this Unopposed First Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief of

Appellees and would show the Court as follows:

      1.    Appellant filed her Brief of Appellant on May 28, 2015, after taking a

7-day extension.




                                        1
         2.   The Brief of Appellees is due on June 29, 2015, 30 days after the

filing of the Brief of Appellant. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(b).

         3.   Appellees request a 7-day extension of time to file their Brief of

Appellees until Monday, July 6, 2015.

         4.   This is Appellees’ First Motion for extension of time to file their

Brief.

         5.   Appellees   request   an   extension    because    of   a   request   for

supplementation of the reporter’s record that was first made on January 27, 2015

but has not yet been completed by the court reporter and because of a request for

supplementation of the clerk’s record that was made on June 24, 2015.

         6.   Appellant is not opposed to this Motion.

         Appellees pray that the Court grant this Motion and extend the time for

filing its Brief of Appellees to and including July 6, 2015. Appellees pray for such

other and further relief to which they may be justly entitled.
