                                          §    TEXARKANA, TEXAS
                                                                             02/24/2015
            APPLICANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE
              TO FILE APPLICANT’S BRIEF OUT OF TIME
      Applicant, by and though his counsel, files the above-referenced motion, and
for good cause shows the following:
      1.     Applicant’s Brief is ready for filing, right now, in the above-styled and

numbered cause. However, the deadline for that brief, February 17, 2015, has passed.
      2.     Counsel for Applicant cites his workload as to why Applicant’s Brief
was not timely filed. Counsel for Applicant represents 19 plaintiffs in a
misclassification case that is brought pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act. That
action is brought against two defendants. Counsel for Applicant filed a brief against
one of the defendants on Thursday, February 19, 2015, and counsel filed another brief
against the other defendant on the evening of Sunday, February 22, 2015.

      3.     Counsel for Applicant has conferred by telephone with the Office of the
District Attorney – specifically, Mr. Clay Harrison, who has been tasked with
representing the State in this matter. Attorney Harrison advised that the requested

relief is unopposed.
