   INTERVENOR’S RESPONSE TO JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION
                  OF BRIEFING DEADLINES

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES:

       Come now, intervenor/appellee, Marilyn Cameron, files this Intervenor’s

Response to Joint Motion for Extension of Briefing Deadlines, and in support

thereof will respectfully show this Court the following:

       On December 18, 2014, pursuant to Rule 25.1 of the Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure, appellants’ attorney, Joshua Godbey, formally filed with the

Court Plaintiffs’ Notice of Appeal on behalf of the University of Texas System and

the University of Texas at Dallas.

Intervenor’s Response to Extension Request                                                   1
        On February 24, 2015, appellants’ attorney, H. Melissa Mather, filed

Appellants’ Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Opening Brief for

above referenced cause, due to the fact that the attorney was recently assigned to

the case and requested additional time to prepare. Request was granted and the

deadline was extended until March 30, 2015.

        The cause on appeal, #D-1-GV-11-001923, was a forthright lawsuit under

the Public Information Act, initiated by appellants, against an opinion issued by the

former Attorney General of the State of Texas, Greg Abbott. Held in the 261st

District Court in Travis County, the lawyers presented documents, pleadings, and

arguments before the Court. The case involved no witnesses, cross-examinations,

subpoenas, or jury. A final summary judgment was declared on November 24,

2014.

        Intervenor respectfully requests that the Court deny the Joint Motion for

Extension of Briefing Deadlines.

                                             Respectfully submitted,
