        On May 18, 2016, counsel for John F., the children’s father, filed a notice of appearance
and requested a copy of the record to prepare an appellate brief for the father. On the brief’s due
date, appellee John F. filed an unopposed first motion for extension of time to file the brief until
June 27, 2016.
        The requested due date will be 130 days after the notice of appeal was filed. See TEX. R.
APP.       P.      38.6(a);      see      also       TEX.        R.   JUD.      ADMIN.       6.2,

       Appellant John F.’s motion is GRANTED. Appellee’s brief must be filed with this

court of that inability and this court will issue an appropriate order.
