Appellant,
v.
SIGHT’S MY LINE, INC.; STEWART LANTZ; RIGGS, ALESHIRE & RAY, P.C.;
BLAZIER, CHRISTENSEN, BIGELOW & VIRR, P.C.; ADAMS & GRAHAM, L.L.P.
Appellees.
On Interlocutory Appeal from the
200th Judicial District Court Travis County, Texas
APPELLEE ADAMS & GRAHAM, L.L.P.’S
UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
Appellee Adams and Graham, L.L.P. respectfully files this unopposed
motion asking the Court to extend the deadline to file its Appellee’s Brief by seven
days, from July 29, 2015 to August 5, 2015.
In support of its motion, Appellee shows as follows:
1. Appellee’s brief is due on or before July 29, 2015.
{00156739}
2. Appellee requests an additional seven days in which to file its brief due to its
lead counsel’s previous commitments before Appellant’s brief was filed.
Appellee’s lead counsel has participated in two full day mediations, one of
them requiring travel to Midland. Lead counsel has also conducted full day
mediation. All mediations have required extensive preparation. Lead counsel
has also traveled out of town to present at the 2015 Texas Bar CLE for
Advanced Insurance Law. The foregoing, in addition to work in other cases,
will prevent the undersigned from completing Movant’s brief by the current
deadline.
3. This is Appellee’s first motion for an extension of time to file its brief.
4. The relief sought by this motion is so that justice may be done, and is not
sought solely for delay, or any other improper purpose.
5. The Court has already granted an extension of time for Co-Appellees
Stewart Lantz and Sight’s My Line, Inc. to file their brief until August 5,
2015. Thus, the Court’s consideration of this case will not be impaired by
granting the relief sought by Appellee Adams and Graham, L.L.P.
6. Appellee therefore prays that the Court extend the current deadline for its
brief from July 29, 2015 until August 5, 2015.
