On Appeal from the 72 nd District Court of Lubbock County, Texas, Lazaro Walck

v. City of Lubbock , Cause No. 2014-509,907 UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLEE’S BRIEF TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

COMES NOW, CITY OF LUBBOCK, Appellee, and moves this Honorable

Court to grant a thirty (30) day extension of time to file Appellee’s Brief, and would

respectfully show as follows: The City of Lubbock’s Brief is due to be filed with this Court on August

28, 2017.

2. City of Lubbock seeks a 30 day extension of time to file it’s Brief,

which would make the Brief due on September 28, 2017.

3. This requested extension is requested as counsel for the City of

Lubbock is preparing briefs in other cases that are due on August 25, 2017 and

September 8, 2017, in which there are unique issues of law that require extensive

briefing and research. As such, counsel does not believe that he will have sufficient

time before August 28, 2017, to properly prepare the brief on the issues that will be

presented in this appeal.

4. Counsel for the City has conferred with counsel for Lazaro Walck and

he does not oppose this extension.

5. This is the first extension of time that the City of Lubbock has sought

for the filing of its Brief, and this request for extension is not sought for delay, but

in order that justice might be done.

For these reasons, CITY OF LUBBOCK requests that this Court grant this

motion, and render an order extending the time for filing its Brief to September 28,
