APPELLANTS' UNOPPOSED MOTION
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS' BRIEF
________________________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:
1. Appellants Shirley Adams, Charlene Burgess, Willie Mae Herbst
Jasik, William Albert Herbst, Helen Herbst and R. May Oil & Gas Company, Ltd.
request an extension of time to file Appellants' Brief. Appellants' Brief is currently
due on Monday, April 13, 2015. Appellants seek a 30-day extension to
Wednesday, May 13, 2015.
2. CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE: Counsel for Appellants has
conferred with Macey Stokes, Lead Counsel for Appellee, who has represented
that Appellee does not oppose this motion.
3. Counsel responsible for drafting and filing Appellants' Brief has had
and continues to have a number of other cases requiring her attention, including
preparation and filing of a reply on April 2, 2015 in No. 14-0984, Hysaw v.
Dawkins , in the Supreme Court of Texas; preparation and filing of appellee’s brief
on March 23, 2015, in No. 07-14-00435-CV, Denham v. Texas Mutual Ins. Co. , in
the Amarillo Court of Appeals; attention to various other time-sensitive matters for
Texas Mutual Insurance Company; and time-sensitive preparation of an
Application to Amend a Certification of Convenience and Necessity for an electric
utility.
4. Because Appellants' brief is currently due April 13, 2015, this
extension is necessary to afford counsel for Appellants adequate time to prepare
the Appellants' Brief in this case.
5. Appellants have not previously requested any extensions of time to
file Appellants' Brief in this case.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, Appellants Shirley Adams, Charlene
Burgess, Willie Mae Herbst Jasik, William Albert Herbst, Helen Herbst and R.
May Oil & Gas Company, Ltd. request that the Court set May 13, 2015 as the
deadline for Appellants to file Appellants' Brief in this case.
