FOR THE THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS Jose G. Chavez, appellant

v.

Juan Francisco Martinez, appellee MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF TO THE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

Appellee, Juan Francisco Martinez, files this motion for extension of

time to file Appellee’s Brief under Rules 10.1, 10.5(b), and 38.6(d) of the

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure, and requests the Court to extend the

deadline for filing the appellants’ brief from January 5, 2015 until January

12, 2015. In support of this motion appellee shows:

I.

This is an appeal from the grant of a motion for summary judgment

on a suit to collect on a note. Appellant’s Brief was filed on December 5,

2014.

II.

This is appellee’s first request for an extension of time to file

Appellee’s Brief.

III.

The undersigned Timothy Hootman, who is primarily responsible for

preparing Appellee’s Brief, underestimated the time necessary to complete

the brief, and therefore requests the additional 7 days. The Appellee’s Brief

has been filed contemporaneously with this motion.

WHEREFORE, appellee, Juan Francisco Martinez, prays that this

motion be granted and that the Court extend the time to file Appellee’s

Brief from to January 5, 2015, until January 12, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
