TO THE HONORABLE FOURTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellees Eric Behrndt, Individually and D/B/A EZ Management GP, LLC,
EZ Management GP, LLC and Behr Construction, Inc. (“Appellees”) file this
Third Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellees’ Brief and would show as
follows:
1. Brief of Appellees is due to be filed on or before Friday, April 24,
2015. Appellees request a third extension of time of twelve (12) days to file the
Brief of Appellees, which would make the brief due Wednesday, May 6, 2015.
2. This is an appeal by the prevailing parties at trial from a judgment in
their favor of $1.4 million against Behr Construction, Inc. The Trial Court signed
an Amended Final Judgment on July 18, 2014. Appellants filed their Notice of
Appeal on August 5, 2014. Appellees filed their Notice of Cross-Appeal on August
18, 2014. The Clerk's Record was filed on December 10, 2014, and the
Supplemental Clerk’s Record was filed on January 14, 2015. The Reporter’s
Record was filed on November 17, 2014, and the Supplemental Reporter’s Record
was filed on January 15, 2015, and the briefing schedule began on that date. The
Brief of Appellants, after one extension of time granted on January 9, 2015, was
then filed on January 22, 2015.
3. Appellees request a twelve (12) day extension of time to Wednesday,
May 6, 2015, to file the Brief of Appellees for the reasons stated herein.
4. The brief is close to being complete. However, counsel for Appellees
has been unable to complete the brief due to being assigned to trial beginning April
27, 2015 in Cause No. 1042442; Travis Hamilton vs. State Farm Mutual
Automobile Insurance Company ; In the Civil County Court at Law Number 4 of
Harris County, Texas. Although the trial will be short and begins the Monday after
the brief is due, counsel’s obligations to his client to prepare that case for trial,
combined with the preparations for other trial settings referred to in the prior
Motion, prevented completion by April 24, 2015.
5. For the foregoing reason, Appellees request that this Court grant this
Second Motion for Extension of Time of twelve (12) days to Wednesday, May 6,
2015, to file the Brief of Appellees.
