U NOPPOSED F IRST OTION FOR E XTENSION OF T IME
T O THE H ONORABLE T HIRD OURT OF PPEALS :
Appellees move to extend the time to file Appellees’ brief pursuant to
Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6(d) and 10.5(b).
I.
Appellees’ brief is due on January 21, 2015. Appellees request an
additional 30 days to file their brief, extending the time to file to February
20, 2015.
II.
This extension is not sought for delay and will prejudice no party. No
previous extensions have been requested for this filing. Appellees’ counsel
has just been assigned the case and needs the additional time to become
familiar with the issues and record in order to provide the Court with helpful
and accurate briefing. This effort has been made more difficult, because on
December 19, 2014, the Supreme Court set Life Partners, Inc. v. State of
Texas , No. 14-0226, for argument on January 15, 2015, and because counsel
has a merits-briefing deadline in Texas Department of State Health Services
v. Balquinta , No. 14-0270, due on January 21, 2015.
III.
Appellees respectfully request that the Court grant a 30 day extension
to file their brief, creating a new deadline of February 20, 2015.
