KYLE CLERK No. 03-14-00713-CV In The Court of Appeals 3rd COURTFILED IN OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS For the Third Judicial District 4/14/2015 3:41:21 PM JEFFREY D. KYLE Austin, Texas Clerk GLENN HEGAR, COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND KEN PAXTON, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellants, v. CGG VERITAS SERVICES (U.S.), INC., Appellee. On Appeal from the 353rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas APPELLANTS’ UNOPPOSED THIRD MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS: In accordance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), Appellants Glenn Hegar, Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, and Ken Paxton, Attorney General of the State of Texas, move for an extension of time to file its brief. Appellee does not oppose motion. I. Appellants’ brief is currently due on April 15, 2015. Appellants seek a 6-day extension, which would make its brief due on April 20, 2015. Two previous extensions have been granted. Appellants seek an extension due to counsel’s workload commitments, and not for purposes of delay. Appellants’ counsel requests a six-day extension due to the scheduling of a hearing in a different case. The Fifth Circuit has set a hearing on the United States of America’s motion for stay pending appeal in Case No. 15-40238, State of Texas, et al. v. United States of America, et al. (5th Cir. 2015). The hearing will take place on April 17, 2015. Each side has been granted an hour for argument in that case. Due to the commitments involved in traveling and preparing lead counsel for that hearing, additional time is requested for Appellants’ counsel to facilitate finalizing and filing of Appellants’ brief in this case. II. For this reason, counsel for Appellants respectfully requests that the deadline to file Appellants’ brief be extended to April 20, 2015. 2 PRAYER Appellants respectfully requests that the Court grant it a 6-day extension of time to file its brief, making that brief due on April 20, 2015.
