Appellees.
Appealed from the 126th Judicial District Court of
Travis County, Texas
Cause No. D-1-GTN-10-003483
APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
TIME TO FILE BRIEFS
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d),
Appellees, Southwest Funding, L.P., IndyMac Mortgage Services, OneWest Bank,
FSB, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (“Appellees”) file this
unopposed joint motion for extension of time to file Appellees’ briefs, and in
support show as follows:
APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED JOINT MOTION PAGE 1 OF 4
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEFS
1. This is an appeal from the Trial Court’s order granting traditional and
no-evidence summary judgment for Appellees on Appellant’s claims against them
and on Deutsche Bank’s counterclaim against Appellant.
2. Appellant filed his Notice of Appeal on or about January 6, 2015.
3. Appellant’s brief was originally due on March 20, 2015, and after
receiving an unopposed thirty day extension of time, Appellant filed his brief on
April 20, 2015.
4. Appellees’ briefs are currently due on May 21, 2015. Appellees seek
an extension of time until June 22, 2015, within which to file and serve their briefs
and record excerpts.
5. The requested extension is not sought for purposes of delay only, but
so that justice may be served in this action. Specifically, Appellees’ respective
counsel requests an extension of time to file their briefs due to the fact that the
undersigned counsel has overlapping deadlines that has prevented their full
attention to this case by the current response deadline.
6. As a result, Appellees’ respective counsel will not have sufficient time
to complete preparation of Appellees’ briefs by May 21, 2015. Accordingly,
Appellees request an extension of time of until June 22, 2015, to file their briefs in
order that Appellees will have an adequate time to prepare their briefs.

7. This is Appellees first request for an extension of time to file their
briefs. No further requests for extension of time are anticipated.
Prayer
Appellees, Southwest Funding, L.P., IndyMac Mortgage Services, OneWest
Bank, FSB, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, respectfully request that
the Court grant an extension of time until June 22, 2015, within which Appellees
must file and serve their respective briefs and record excerpts in this appeal.
