             APPELLANTS’ UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION
     FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S REPLY BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

         Appellants, Prabhakar Guniganti, Individually, The Guniganti Children’s 1999

Trust, and Triple PG Sand Development, LLC, file this Unopposed First Motion for

Extension of Time to File Appellants’ Reply Brief.

         1.    The deadline for filing Appellants’ Reply Brief is February 19, 2015.

         2.    This is appellants’ first motion for extension of time to file their reply

brief.
      3.    Appellants request an extension of 21 days; that is, an extension of time

to and including March 12, 2015.

      4.    Counsel could not prepare Appellants’ Reply Brief by the current due

date, given proper standards of representation, because of her work in the following

matters:

            a.     Conducting the research and drafting post-judgment motions, and

analyzing proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, in Kyu Im Robinson v.

Jess L. Mayfield, et al.; Cause No. 2013-CI-07766; in the District Court of Bexar

County, Texas, 131st Judicial District. The trial court’s judgment in that case was

signed on February 3, 2015.

            b.     Assisting in the research and drafting of Appellant’s Reply Brief

in No. 01-14-00317-CV, Pelco Construction Co. v. Chambers County, Texas, in the

First Court of Appeals, Houston, Texas. The brief in that case was filed on February

12, 2015.

            c.     Assisting in the research and drafting of Reply to Respondents’

Joint Response to Petition for Review in No. 14-0656; MBI Global, L.L.C. v. Hunter

Buildings & Manufacturing, L.P., et al.; in the Supreme Court of Texas. That reply

was filed on February 3, 2015.

                                        -2-
      5.    Counsel would show that she is a solo practitioner and is solely

responsible for the work necessary to prepare Appellants’ Reply Brief in this case.

                                      PRAYER

      For the reasons stated, appellants request that this Court grant this motion and

extend the time for filing Appellants’ Reply Brief to and including March 12, 2015.

                                               Respectfully submitted,

                                               JOANN STOREY, P.C.
