    Appeal from the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas
                       Cause No. D-1-GN-12-003557

                 APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR
              EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSE BRIEF

      Appellees Jennifer Frame, Individually and as Personal Representative of the

Estate of John William Griffith, Greg Griffith, Cheryl Burris, and Diana Pulido file

this unopposed motion for extension of time to file their response brief, and in

support therefore would respectfully show as follows:

      1.      The current deadline for Appellees to file their response brief is August

12, 2015.
      2.     Appellees seek a 14-day extension to file its response brief, making its

brief due on or before August 26, 2015.

      3.     Counsel for Appellees has been heavily involved in numerous highly

complex matters in both state and federal court. This request is not for delay only,

but so that Appellees’ positions and arguments may be fully developed and presented

to this Court in a concise and persuasive fashion.

      4.     This is the second request to extend the deadline for Appellees’

response brief.

      5.     Counsel for Appellees has conferred with Counsel for the City of

Austin, who indicated she is unopposed to Appellees’ request for an extension of

time to file their response brief.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees respectfully request

an order granting their Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Response

Brief so that Appellees’ response brief is due on or before August 26, 2015, and for

such other and further relief to which they may be justly entitled.
