                           COMPANY, LLC,
                                        APPELLEES.

                APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO
              EXTEND TIME FOR FILING RESPONSE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d) and 10.5(b), the Public Utility

Commission of Texas (Appellee) asks the Court to extend the time to file its

Appellee Response Brief to February 1, 2017, and fully states:

      1.    Appellee’s Response Brief is due to be filed with this Court on January

17, 2017, Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a).

      2.    Appellee seeks a 15-day extension of time to file Appellee’s Response

Brief, which would make the Response Brief due on or before February 1, 2017.

The Court has the authority under Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d) to extend the time to file
Appellee’s brief.

      3.     Appellee has conferred with the Appellant and counsel for Oncor

Electric Delivery Company, LLC, the other Appellee in this case. The Appellant and

Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC, do not oppose this motion to extend time.

      4.     No previous extension has been granted for the time to file Appellee’s

Response Brief.

      5.     Appellee is making this request not for purposes of delay, but so that

counsel may have adequate time to prepare its responses. Additional time is needed

to file Appellee’s Response Brief because of the holiday season as well as other

briefing and litigation deadlines in other cases in the coming month.

                                      PRAYER

      For these reasons, Appellee respectfully request an extension of 15-days to

file its response to Appellant’s Brief.

                                 Respectfully submitted,

                                 KEN PAXTON
