                         ---------------------
   On Appeal from the 125th District Court Harris County, Texas
                Trial Court Cause No. 2012-67104
                         ---------------------

    Appellants’ Unopposed Motion for Extension of Filing Deadline

      Comes now EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO,

LLC AND JAMES T. CARKULIS, Appellants, and file this unopposed

motion for extension of deadline for thirty (30) days:

      As cause, counsel would respectfully show as follows:

      1.     This is an appeal from death penalty sanctions ordered in the

District Court. Exergy’s third-party complaint was stricken and it was

prohibited from introducing any evidence to support claims against the third-

party defendants.

      2.     The appellants’ brief is due February 26, 2015.

      3.     Counsel’s father recently passed away, and the funeral was ten

days ago.

                                      1
      4.     Counsel is back at work after attending to certain associated

personal matters.

      5.     Last week, Counsel was in Lubbock for a hearing on a capital

habeas writ, Rodriguez v. Stephens, 5:13-CV-00233, before Judge Sam

Cummings.

      6.     Counsel has upcoming deadlines in two capital habeas appeals

in the Fifth Circuit, Roberson v. Stephens, 14-70033, and Garcia v.

Stephens, 14-70035.

      7.     Counsel does not seek the requested extension for purposes of

delay, but rather so that he can devote the requisite attention to the case at

bar, while attending to other matters which were somewhat delayed because

of the aforementioned funeral.

      WHEREFORE, premises considered, Counsel prays for an extension

of deadline to March 26, 2015.

                                        Respectfully submitted,

                                        Seth Kretzer
