           SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                         TO FILE BRIEF OF APPELLEE
____________________________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

        Appellee, Dolores Mueller, and respectfully requests that this Court extend the deadline to

file the Response to Brief of Appellant by two weeks.

                                A. Factual and Procedural History

1.      This case is on appeal from County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas. It is an appeal

from a DENIAL of a Plea to the Jurisdiction.

2.      The style and number of the case in the trial court was Cause No. C-37665; Dolores Mueller

vs. Humana Insurance Company; In the County Court at Law #3; Bexar County, Texas. The present

deadline for Appellee to file her response to Appellant’s Brief is presently January 30, 2015.

                                   B. Argument and Authorities

3.      This Court has the authority to grant a motion to extend the deadline to file a party’s brief

under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b).

4.      Appellant’s Brief in the above appeal was filed on December 19, 2014. This court has

granted one prior extension of the deadline to file Appellee’s brief. Appellee requires additional

time to review the appellate record, perform the legal research, and draft briefs that will be helpful

to this Court. Counsel for Appellee has found that his ambition to complete the brief was

overmatched by other professional obligations. Appellee therefore seeks an extension of time until

February 13, 2015 to file her response.

6.      Counsel for Appellee has consulted with counsel for Appellant about this matter, and is

authorized to say that Appellant does not oppose this Motion.

                                     C. Conclusion and Prayer

and extend the deadline filing those briefs until February13, 2015.
