UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION
OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF OF APPELLEE
______________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellee Lake Travis Transitional LTCH, LLC n/k/a Lake Travis Specialty
Hospital, LLC (“LTT”) files this unopposed motion for an extension of time to file
its Brief of Appellee in this appeal. Currently the brief is due on October 21, 2015.
LTT respectfully requests that this Court extend the time for filing its brief by
thirty days to Nov. 20, 2015. This is the first request for an extension of time for
this filing.
1253892
There is good cause to grant this extension. LTT seeks this extension in
order to have adequate time to analyze and brief this issues in this case. The record
in this appeal is sizeable, including a 20-volume Reporter’s Record from a jury
trial. Moreover, Cross-Appellees have moved for a thirty day extension of time to
file their brief; it makes sense to keep all parties on a parallel briefing schedule. In
addition, on Oct. 2, 2015, the Fifth Circuit accepted an interlocutory appeal in
which LTT’s appellate counsel, Jane Webre, is lead appellate counsel. That order
triggered an accelerated briefing schedule under which Ms. Webre had to prepare
and file her client’s opening brief by Oct. 13, 2015.
This motion is unopposed.
WHEREFORE, LTT respectfully requests that this Court grant this motion,
extend the deadline to file its brief of Appellee to Nov. 20, 2015, and grant to it all
other relief to which it may be entitled.
