Counsel for Dorfman Appellants
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:
NOW COME Louis Dorfman, K.I. Holdings, Ltd., Sam Myers, JMD
Resources, Inc., Billy Cogdell Bowden, Barbara Stanfield, Stacey Dorfman
Kivowitz, Julia Dorfman, Mark Dorfman, Samuel Grant Dorfman, Individually
and as Independent Executor of the Estate of Sam Y. Dorfman, Deceased, and
John Pritchett, Trustee of the CKK 2012 Trust, Plaintiffs/Counter-Defendants
(hereinafter the “Dorfman Appellants”) and file this Unopposed Motion for
Extension of Time to File Appellants’ Brief pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 10.5(b) and in support thereof would show the Court as follows:
1. The deadline for Appellants to file their Brief in this case is November
3, 2017.
2. Appellants seek an extension of time of thirty (30) days so that the
Response would be due on December 4, 2017.
3. The facts relied on to reasonably explain the need for an extension are
the following:
a. This case involves appeals by all parties of separate rulings by the trial
court on competing motions for summary judgment. Two of the Appellants on the
opposite side of the case from the Dorfman Appellants have requested similar
extensions of time to file their opening briefs so the requested extension will not
2
delay presentation of this appeal to the Court and will maintain an orderly briefing
schedule.
b. Counsel has been out of his office most of this week with what has
been diagnosed as a sinus infection. This has caused a backlog of work and, while I
have returned to work today, I am not at 100%.
4. No previous extensions of time have been granted for filing the
Appellants’ Brief.
5. On October 31, 2017 and November 1, 2017, Undersigned Counsel
conferred by e-mail with the other parties in this case and this request for extension
of time to file Appellants’ Brief is not opposed.
WHEREFORE, the Dorfman Appellants, respectfully request an extension
of time to file brief of thirty (30) days so that the Appellants’ Brief is due to be
filed on or before December 4, 2017.
Respectfully Submitted,
