MARCI MADLA and BRANDON BRIGANCE, Appellees ______________________________________ APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE NOTICE OF ACCELERATED APPEAL ______________________________________ *2 TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

Now Comes GEORGE B. DOMBART, Appellant in the above-styled and numbered

cause, filing this his Motion for Extension of Time to Notice of Accelerated Appeal, pursuant

to Rules 10.5(b) and 26.3, T EXAS ULES OF PPELLATE , and as cause for same,

would respectfully show the Court the following:

I. rd

On September 1, 2015, the 73 Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas, signed

an appealable order in Cause No. 2015-CI-10992, styled Marci Madla and Brandon Brigance,

Plaintiffs, v. George B. Dombart, Defendant .

II.

Appellant’s Notice of Accelerated Appeal was originally due to be filed in the trial court

on September 21, 2015.

III.

Appellant filed in the trial court his Notice of Accelerated Appeal on September 28, 2015,

which was within 15 days of the date the Notice was originally due to be filed. A copy of that

Notice is attached to this motion.

IV.

The Notice of Accelerated Appeal was not timely filed because of Defendant’s counsel

being out of his office for an extensive period of time due to a death in his family and a mistaken

belief that the time for filing an appeal to the trial court’s Order was thirty days instead of twenty

days. Appellant’s failure to timely file the Notice of Accelerated Appeal was not deliberate or

intentional, but was the result of inadvertence, mistake, or mischance.
