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

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

       Appellant Sky Interests Corp. (“Appellant”) files this unopposed first motion for extension

of time to file its brief under the authority of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b)(1) as

follows:

                                           INTRODUCTION

       1.        The current deadline for filing Appellant’s brief is June 9, 2018.

       2.        Appellant seeks a thirty-day extension until July 9, 2018, to file its brief.

       3.        This is Appellant’s first request for an extension of time and Appellee does not

 oppose the requested extension.

       4.        Appellant requires additional time to file its brief because the court reporter’s record

 was lost in the mail and counsel for Appellant did not receive a copy of the reporter’s record until

 May 31, 2018. Further, counsel for Appellant has been engaged in other litigation, preparing for

 trial deadlines which have hampered his ability to prepare this brief before its current deadline, as

 stated below:

       ➢         Cause no. 17-0249-C368 styled Berenis de la Garza v. Whataburger

              County, Texas, set for trial July 9, 2018.

                                        NO OPPOSITION

      5.      Appellant’s counsel has conferred with Appellee’s counsel, Jason A. Duff, who does

not oppose this motion.

                                             PRAYER

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant Sky Interests Corp. respectfully
