    STEVE MADDEN, LTD., SXSW, INC., AND W3 EVENT SPECIALISTS, INC.,

                                   Appellees

                 APPEAL FROM CAUSE NO. D-1-GN-13-000933
               261ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS
                    HON. SUZANNE COVINGTON PRESIDING

              SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                 TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellant Richard Patrick Fagerberg files this motion requesting a two-day

extension of time for filing the motion for rehearing submitted to the Court on

August 21, 2015. Appellant respectfully shows:

      1.    On July 3, 2015, this Court issued an opinion and judgment affirming

the trial court’s summary judgments favoring all three appellants. Appellant
received a 30-day extension of time—to August 19, 2015—for filing any motion

for rehearing or for en banc reconsideration.

       2.    The new due date was miscalendared in the undersigned counsel’s

office. Instead of reflecting August 19, 2015 as the new due date, the calendar

reflected a due date of August 21, 2015. Counsel thus erroneously believed the

motion to be timely when filed.

       3.    Appellant asks the Court to extend his time for filing his motion for

rehearing by two days so as to render the recent filing timely.

                         CONCLUSION AND PRAYER

       Appellant respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion, thus making

his motion for rehearing against Appellee W3 Event Specialists, Inc. due on

August 21, 2015. Appellant requests all other appropriate relief to which he is

entitled.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
