__________________________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS:
Appellee the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) in the above-styled
and numbered cause, and pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), moves that the Court
extend the time for the PUC to file its Appellee’s Brief and respectfully shows as
follows:
I.
The PUC’s Appellee’s Brief is currently due on November 21, 2016. The
PUC seeks a 23-day extension, which would make the brief due on December 14,
2016.
II.
Counsel for the PUC seeks this extension because of heavy workload and
other deadlines in their cases, including a hearing on the merits held in district
court on November 8, response briefs due in the Texas Supreme Court on
November 14 and 22, and a hearing on pleas to the jurisdiction and discovery in
district court on November 29. This extension is not sought for delay but so that
justice may be done. This is the PUC’s first request for extension of time to file its
Appellee’s Brief.
Prayer
For the foregoing reasons, the PUC asks the Court to grant this Unopposed
Motion to Extend Time for Filing Brief and extend the deadline for the PUC to file
its Appellee’s Brief to December 14, 2016.
Respectfully submitted,
KEN PAXTON
