             APPEAL FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NUMBER TEN, BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS
                                      NO. 2014CV00284

             Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief of Appellees

    Appellees Michael and Theresa Hayes file this Motion for Extension of Time to

File Brief of Appellees.

    1. After obtaining one extension, Appellant filed its Brief of Appellant on

July 8, 2015. After that date, the undersigned agreed to appear in this matter as

additional appellate counsel for Appellees.

    2. Appellees hereby request an extension for filing their brief. Lead appellate

counsel for Appellees has a previously-planned vacation over most of the next two

{MOTION~1}
weeks. Lead appellate counsel also has deadlines in numerous cases over the next

month including:

        a. Steve Cooper, et al. v. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, et al.;
           Docket No. 14-51343, in the United States Court of Appeals for the
           Fifth Circuit;

        b. Young Chevrolet, Inc., et al. v. Texas Commission on Environmental
           Quality, et al.; in the Court of Appeals for the Third Court of Appeals
           District, Austin, Texas;

        c. Miguel Rishmague, et al. v. Robert Winter, et al., Docket No. 14-11118, in
           the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

    3. Appellees therefore request a 30-day extension of the deadline for filing their

brief such that the brief will be due on or before September 7, 2015.

    4. Counsel for Appellees contacted counsel for Appellant, who indicated that

the requested extension is unopposed.

    5. This is Appellees’ first request for an extension for filing of their Brief of

Appellees and the extension is not sought for delay, but so that justice may be had.

        WHEREFORE Appellees pray that this Motion be granted such that Appellees’

Brief be considered timely filed on or before September 7, 2015, and this Court

award Appellees such other and further relief, both general and special, at law or in

equity, to which they may be entitled.
