FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

 FILED IN 4th COURT OF APPEALS SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 11/1/2017 11:33:26 AM KEITH E. HOTTLE CLERK
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:

NOW COME Louis Dorfman, K.I. Holdings, Ltd., Sam Myers, JMD 

Resources, Inc., Billy Cogdell Bowden, Barbara Stanfield, Stacey Dorfman 

Kivowitz, Julia Dorfman, Mark Dorfman, Samuel Grant Dorfman, Individually 

and as Independent Executor of the Estate of Sam Y. Dorfman, Deceased, and 

John Pritchett, Trustee of the CKK 2012 Trust, Plaintiffs/Counter-Defendants

(hereinafter the “Dorfman Appellants”) and file this Unopposed Motion for 

Extension of Time to File Appellants’ Brief pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate 

Procedure 10.5(b) and in support thereof would show the Court as follows:

1. The deadline for Appellants to file their Brief in this case is November 

3, 2017.

2. Appellants seek an extension of time of thirty (30) days so that the 

Response would be due on December 4, 2017.

3. The facts relied on to reasonably explain the need for an extension are 

the following:

a. This case involves appeals by all parties of separate rulings by the trial 

court on competing motions for summary judgment. Two of the Appellants on the 

opposite side of the case from the Dorfman Appellants have requested similar 

extensions of time to file their opening briefs so the requested extension will not 

2
delay presentation of this appeal to the Court and will maintain an orderly briefing 

schedule.

b. Counsel has been out of his office most of this week with what has 

been diagnosed as a sinus infection. This has caused a backlog of work and, while I 

have returned to work today, I am not at 100%.

4. No previous extensions of time have been granted for filing the 

Appellants’ Brief.

5. On October 31, 2017 and November 1, 2017, Undersigned Counsel 

conferred by e-mail with the other parties in this case and this request for extension 

of time to file Appellants’ Brief is not opposed.

WHEREFORE, the Dorfman Appellants, respectfully request an extension 

of time to file brief of thirty (30) days so that the Appellants’ Brief is due to be 

filed on or before December 4, 2017. 

Respectfully Submitted,
