APPELLANTS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ BRIEF
            APPELLANTS’ UNOPPOSED 2 n d MOTION
        TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

      COME NOW, Appellants Net Worth Realty USA, LLC and Dallas Metro

Holdings, LLC, and file this 2nd Motion to Extend Time to File Appellants’ Brief,

and in support would show the Court as follows:

                              I. BACKGROUND
      This is an appeal from an order denying Appellants’ Motion for Attorney’s

Fees and Motion for Leave to File First Amended Counterclaim. Appellants

discovered while drafting their brief that many relevant pleadings from the trial

court were not included in the Clerk’s Record. Appellants requested a supplement

to include the missing filings, and promptly sent payment via fedex to the Clerk,

however the payment is taking longer to arrive than expected, and the Clerk will

not release the supplemental record until paid. Appellants cannot plug in the

record citations to their otherwise completed Appellant’s Brief until the

Supplemental Clerk’s Record is released. Therefore, Appellant request a 2 week

extension of time to file their brief, though they intend to file as soon as the

Supplemental Record is available, hopefully sooner than 2 weeks from now.

                                  II. MOTION
      Appellants request an extension of time to June 21, 2018, to file their

opening brief. Under Appellate Rule 38.6(d), this Court may extend the time for
filing a brief on a motion complying with Appellate Rule 10.5(b).1 In turn,

Appellate Rule 10.5(b) requires that a motion to extend time to file a brief state:

(A) the deadline for filing the item in question; (B) the length of the extension

sought; (C) the facts relied on to reasonably explain the need for an extension; and

(D) the number of previous extensions granted regarding the item in question.2

Pursuant to Rule 10.5(b), Appellants state as follows:

          A. Deadline for Filing. Appellant’s current deadline is June 7, 2018.

          B. Length of the Extension Sought. The length of the extension is 14 days.

          C. Need for Extension. Appellants’ counsel needs time to insert record
             citation once the Supplemental Clerk’s Record becomes available.

          D. Prior Extensions. Appellants have sought one previous extension.

                            III.    CONCLUSION & PRAYER
          WHEREFORE, Appellants respectfully request that this Court grant this

Motion and extend Appellants’ deadline to file its opening brief by 14 days from

June 7, 2018 to June 21, 2018.

                                             Respectfully Submitted,

                                             /s/ Jesse D. Hoffman
