____________________________________________________
Appellees’/Cross-Appellants’ Unopposed Motion for
Extension of Time to File a Motion for Rehearing and/or
Reconsideration En Banc
____________________________________________________
To the Honorable Third Court of Appeals:
Appellees/Cross-Appellants Glenn Hegar, Comptroller of Public Accounts of
the State of Texas, and Ken Paxton, Attorney General of the State of Texas, file this
unopposed motion under Rule 49.8 and 10.5(b) requesting that the time for filing a
motion for rehearing and/or reconsideration en banc be extended for fourteen days,
from May 15, 2015 (the current due date) to May 29, 2015, and in support show as
follows:
1. The Court rendered judgment on April 30, 2015.
2. Per Tex. R. App. P. 49.1, Appellees’ motion for rehearing and/or
reconsideration en banc is due within 15 days of the Court’s judgment on May 15,
2015.
3. Per Tex. R. App. P. 49.8, Appellees timely request an additional 14 days to
file a motion for rehearing and/or reconsideration en banc, extending the time to file
to May 29, 2015.
4. Appellees have not previously requested to extend the time to file their motion
for rehearing and/or reconsideration en banc.
5. Good cause exists to grant this request. This is a case of substantial importance
to the State, and for that reason, it requires additional time to review the opinion and
and fully brief the State’s reasons for seeking rehearing and/or reconsideration en
banc.
6. This extension is not being sought for purposes of delay but rather so that a
thorough and clear motion for rehearing and/or reconsideration en banc may be
presented to the Court.
7. Appellant/Cross-Appellee is not opposed to this motion.
8. Wherefore, Appellees/Cross-Appellants Glenn Hegar, Comptroller of Public
Accounts of the State of Texas, and Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, request
that this motion be granted, and that the time for filing a motion for rehearing and/or
reconsideration en banc be extended to May 29, 2015.
