v.                                            |          THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS
Charles C. Dorbandt,                          o
               Appellee.                      §          AUSTIN DIVISION

     OPPOSITION TO APPELLEE'S MOTION FOR EXTENTION OF TIME

        COMES NOW, Appellant, Steven Paul Wilson, in opposition to
Appellee's Motion for Extention of Time. For the following rea
sons Appellee's Motion should be denied:

        1) For cause Appellee asserts: "That Appellee has not re
ceived, in a timely fashion, all documents filied by Plaintiff
Appellant in this cause of action." Appellee's statement is fla
grantly untrue. Appellant with every pleading, without exception,
and at every stage of this suit, has filed a "Certificate of Ser
vice" verifying that each and every pleading was simultaneously
mailed to Appellee at his law office. If there is any doubt in this
Honorable Court's mind concerning Appellant's deligence in mailing
copies of all his pleadings to Appellee, the institution keeps re
cords of all incoming/outgoing                    legal mail and their records will
reflect, without exception, that each and every time a pleading
was mailed to the courts,legal mail was likewise mailed to Appellee.
        Appellee seems to have no qualms about lying to the Court,
and his lie to this Court is consistent with his purjured test
imony at the evidentiary hearing of August 26, 2013 which is the
basis of Appellant's defamation and slander/libel cause of action.
Despite_App_ellee's Memorandum in Answer being wholly without merit,
 /'received n,
      FEB 242015 j
  L Tri'.ROCO'jr.Vo"', : "--vJ            1
This Honorable Court should send Appellee a message that the
Court will not tolerate being lied to and deny Appellee's Motion

for Extentionon Time, and instruct the Clerk's Office to strike

Appellee's Momerandum in Answer from the record.
     2) Appellee seeks an extention of "a short five (5) day[s].M
January 9, 2015, the date in which Appellee's Brief was due and
his filing of February 11, 2015 amounts to a total of 33 days, a
significant amount of time beyond the five (5) days sought. As a
practicing attorney, Appellee should be cognizantof his responsi

bility     when it comes to timely pleadings. Further, Appellee's
Motion for Extention of Time is, in of itself, untimely, and Ap

pellant is of the belief that Appellee needed leave of court to file

the motion. Thus, Appellant would assert that the Motion for Exten

tion of Time should be denied as untimely.

     3) Appellee's new Memorandum in Answer is essentially the same
as the one Appellant responded to in "Appellant's Reply Brief and
Memorandum in Support," placed in the institutional mail on February
17, 2015, and Appellant incorporates the same herein. Subsequently,

on the afternoon of the 17th, Appellant received the Appellee's

latest pleadings, and his letter dated February 11, 2015. See at

tached Exhibit A. Appellant will rest on his previous Reply Brief.

     For    the foregoing reasons Appellee's Motion for Extention of
Time should be denied, and his Memorandum in Answer struck.

     WHEREFORE, Appellant would pray that the relief requested
herein be GRANTED,
Respectfully submitted,
