    APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
                    TIME TO FILE BRIEFS

 

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d),

Appellees, Southwest Funding, L.P., IndyMac Mortgage Services, OneWest Bank,

FSB, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (“Appellees”) file this

unopposed joint motion for extension of time to file Appellees’ briefs, and in

support show as follows:

APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED JOINT MOTION                                   PAGE 1 OF 4
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEFS
 
      1.     This is an appeal from the Trial Court’s order granting traditional and

no-evidence summary judgment for Appellees on Appellant’s claims against them

and on Deutsche Bank’s counterclaim against Appellant.

      2.     Appellant filed his Notice of Appeal on or about January 6, 2015.

      3.     Appellant’s brief was originally due on March 20, 2015, and after

receiving an unopposed thirty day extension of time, Appellant filed his brief on

April 20, 2015.

      4.     Appellees’ briefs are currently due on May 21, 2015. Appellees seek

an extension of time until June 22, 2015, within which to file and serve their briefs

and record excerpts.

      5.     The requested extension is not sought for purposes of delay only, but

so that justice may be served in this action. Specifically, Appellees’ respective

counsel requests an extension of time to file their briefs due to the fact that the

undersigned counsel has overlapping deadlines that has prevented their full

attention to this case by the current response deadline.

      6.     As a result, Appellees’ respective counsel will not have sufficient time

to complete preparation of Appellees’ briefs by May 21, 2015. Accordingly,

Appellees request an extension of time of until June 22, 2015, to file their briefs in

order that Appellees will have an adequate time to prepare their briefs.

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEFS
 
      7.     This is Appellees first request for an extension of time to file their

briefs. No further requests for extension of time are anticipated.

                                       Prayer

      Appellees, Southwest Funding, L.P., IndyMac Mortgage Services, OneWest

Bank, FSB, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, respectfully request that

the Court grant an extension of time until June 22, 2015, within which Appellees

must file and serve their respective briefs and record excerpts in this appeal.

Respectfully Submitted,                            Respectfully Submitted,
