                                         v.

            KEN PAXTON, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS,
                            Appellee.

         On Appeal from the 261st District Court of Travis County, Texas
                 The Honorable Stephen Yelenosky, Presiding

            APPELLEE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellee, Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, files this unopposed

motion requesting this Court to extend the time for filing Appellee’s brief by 7 days

to June 9, 2015.

A.    Current Deadline.

      The current deadline for filing the response is June 2, 2015.

B.    Length of Extension Sought for Filing the Response.

      Respondent seeks an additional 7 days from June 2, 2015 through and

including June 9, 2015.
C.     Number of Previous Extensions Granted.

       None. Appellee did sign a motion to modify the scheduling order previously,

but that order only moved Appellee’s deadline, it did not provide extra time for

Appellee to respond to Appellant’s brief.

D.     Facts Explaining the Needed Extension.

       Respondent’s counsel requests this extension in light of some previously

scheduled deadlines and events in the month of May.

       This extension is not being sought for purposes of delay, but rather to provide

undersigned counsel the time to fully respond to Appellant’s brief. Neither counsel

for the University of Texas System and the University of Texas at Dallas nor Marilyn

Cameron, appearing pro se, are opposed to this extension. Accordingly, Appellee

Ken Paxton asks that this Motion be granted and that he be given until June 9, 2015,

to file his brief in this case.

                                       Respectfully Submitted,

                                       KEN PAXTON
