Attorneys for Appellants *2 TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellants, El Ahorro Properties, LLC, Adventure Supermarkets, LLC and
Rosara Investments, LLC, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b)
and 38.6(d), file their Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief of
Appellants.
Appellants’ Brief is currently due on April 20, 2015. Appellants seek a
twenty-one (21) day extension to file their brief. If granted, Appellant’s Brief
would be due on May 11, 2015.
This is Appellants’ first request for an extension of time to file their brief.
Appellee does not oppose this motion.
Appellants need an extension of time to file their brief because the parties
are attempting to resolve the arbitration issue. Appellee recently had surgery. As a
result, counsel for Appellee has not had the opportunity to consult with her
regarding whether to consent to arbitration in order to avoid the time and expense
associated with this appeal. Further, counsel for Appellant has an out of town
deposition that will take him out of the office on April 15 th -16 th and family
commitments April 17 th -19 th . As a result, Appellants cannot delay filing this
extension until the parties determine whether an agreement can be reached.
PRAYER
For these reasons, Appellants El Ahorro Properties, LLC, Adventure
Supermarkets, LLC and Rosara Investments, LLC pray that this Court grant a
twenty-one (21) day extension of time to file their Brief. Appellants also pray for
such further relief to which they may be entitled.
