TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

1. Under Rules 2 and 10.5(b), Appellant respectfully requests a 30-day 

extension of time to file her Opening Brief, making the Brief due on July 11, 2018.

2. This appeal was taken Pursuant to Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 

51.014(a)(12), of the trial court’s Order Denying Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss 

under the Texas Citizen’s Participation Act (“TCPA”) dated May 1, 2018 (“Order”), 

which was later reduced to written Order on May 14, 2018, and the trial court’s 

written order overruling Misko’s Objections to TCPA Evidence (only as to 

paragraph 8 of Redding Declaration) dated May 1, 2018 to the Fifth Court of 

Appeals. 

3. The Reporter’s Record was filed on May 21, 2018, making Appellant’s 

brief currently due on June 11, 2018 because this is an accelerated interlocutory 

appeal.

4. Appellant needs additional time to file her opening brief due to the record 

being voluminous (thousands of pages), the reporter’s record having multiple 

volumes, and undersigned counsel’s summer vacation schedule as well as other 

conflicting engagements.

5. Accordingly, Appellant respectfully request the Court grant her a 30-

2018.

6. This Motion is, unopposed, is timely filed and is not brought for purposes 

of delay, but so that justice may done.

grant Appellant a 30-day extension of time to file her Opening Brief, making the 

Brief due on July 11, 2018.

Respectfully submitted,

CAMARA & SIBLEY, L.L.P.
