      Appellee                           §

     UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF

        Appellants, Playa Vista LP, Morgan-Multi Family LLC, and Scott Morgan,

asks the Court to extend the time to file their Appellate Brief.

                                      Introduction

1. This motion is filed before the Appellate Brief is due. There is no specific

     deadline to file this motion to extend time. See Tex. R. App. Proc. 38.6(d).

2. Appellees are unopposed.

                               Argument & Authorities

3. The Court may grant an extension of time under Texas Rule of Appellate

     Procedure 38.6(d) and 10.5(b).

4. The deadline to file the Appellate Brief is March 30, 2015. Appellants request

     an additional twenty-one (21) days to file the Appellate Brief, extending the

     deadline to Monday, April 20, 2015.
5. Appellants’ counsel had two unforeseen personal emergencies arise over a two

   and a half week period.

6. An extension/stay was previously requested due to summary judgment hearings

   in the 270th Judicial District Court of Harris County in this cause, causing the

   case to be abated. The appeal was reinstated in January. One extension has

   been previously granted. This is Appellants’ second request for an extension.

                               Conclusion and Prayer

7. For the reasons stated above, Appellants ask the Court to grant an extension of

   time to file the Appellate Brief until April 20, 2015.

                                              Respectfully Submitted,

                                              PARANJPE & MAHADASS LLP
