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,
