County, Texas SBT# 22085600 4801 Woodway, Suite 300E Houston, Texas 77056 T: 713.355.2323 F: 713.355.2325 e: djw@wukosonlaw.com Attorney for

Guillermo Guefen *2 TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

COMES NOW , Real Party in Interest Guillermo Guefen (hereinafter sometimes “RPI”)., and moves this Honorable Court to grant an extension of time

to file his Response Brief in this cause and, in support thereof, would respectfully

show the Court as follows:

I. RPI’s Brief is due to be filed with this Court on November 17 2015. RPI was notified of the deadline on approximately October 29 2015.

II. RPI seeks a 30-day extension of time to file his Brief, which would make the brief due on or before December 17 2015.

Relator does is unopposed to a 21-day extension of time, but opposes a 30- day extension of time.

III. This extension of time is necessary because counsel for RPI has just had an invasive surgery to treat his shoulder. He is currently wearing a direct infusion pain

blocker that injects narcotic pain medication directly into his upper spine and right

arm. Counsel will be on narcotic pain medication for another thirty days. During this *3 time Counsel will also be unable to use his right arm, which is in a sling attached to

his waist and neck to prevent movement. ^[1]

Therefore, RPI requests a 30-day extension so that Counsel can cease the pain medications before working on this important matter.

IV. Counsel for RPI has conferred with counsel for Relator, Ms. Sallee S. Smyth, who partially opposes the granting of the relief sought by this motion.

Counsel for Relator agrees to an extension, but only a 21-day extension of time.

RPI requests the 30-day extension or, in the alternative, at least the 21-day extension.

V. This is the first extension of time RPI has sought for the filing of its brief. For these reasons, RPI requests that this Court render an order extending the time for

filing RPI’s Brief to December 17 2015.
