               Court;

             • appearing as lead counsel and preparing a motion for rehearing and
               motion for reconsideration en banc on behalf of the real party in
               interest in In re Seton Northwest Hospital, et al., No. 03-15-00269-
               CV before this Court;

             • preparing and filing an amended plea to the jurisdiction and a
               motion to compel arbitration and attending hearings in North
               Austin Muslim Community Center, Inc. v. Professional StruCIVIL
               Engineering, Inc. and Mirza Tahir Baig, No. D-1-GN-15-001715
               in the 345th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas; and

             • considering the prospects for a motion for rehearing or motion for
               reconsideration en banc in Richard Patrick Fagerberg v. Steve
               Madden, Ltd., SXSW, Inc., and W3 Event Specialists, Inc., No. 03-
               13-00286-CV before this Court.

In addition, the undersigned was on a family trip out of state from July 21 through

July 28, was out of the office at a conference on August 6 and August 7, and has

now departed for a family vacation until August 18, 2015.

      4.     This case has not been set for submission. Therefore, no unnecessary

delay will result from the granting of this extension.

      5.     Appellee does not oppose the relief sought in this motion.

                         CONCLUSION AND PRAYER

      For these reasons, appellants respectfully request that the Court grant this

motion for extension of time, thus making their opening brief due on September

11, 2015. Appellants request all other appropriate relief to which they are entitled.

                                        Respectfully submitted,
