                                            v.

       Walker Electric Company, LLC; Walker’s Electric Company;
      Walkers Electric Company; Calvin G. Walker; and Stacy Walker
                                 Appellees.

                     From the District Court of Travis County
                126th Judicial District Court, No. D-1-GN-12-003613
                   Honorable Rhonda Hurley, Judge Presiding

                  APPELLEES’ MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
                          MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

         Appellees, Walker Electric, Company, LLC, Walker’s Electric

Company, Walkers Electric Company, Calvin G. Walker, and Stacy Walker

(“Walker Electric”), hereby file their extension of time to file their motion for

rehearing, and respectfully show the Court the following:

         1.       Appellees’ Motion for Rehearing is due to be filed with this court

on or before December 31, 2014.

AUS-6045954-1 6060904/1
         2.       Appellees request an additional time of thirty (30) days, or until

February 1, 2015, in which to file their Motion for Rehearing.

         3.       This extension is needed because Ace Pickens, lead counsel

for Appellees, recently had an unexpected illness which required

hospitalization, and has not been able to return to work.

         4.       Attempts   to   contact counsel     for   Appellant   have   been

unsuccessful; therefore, I do not know if this motion is opposed or

unopposed.

         5.       This is Appellees’ second request for an extension of time to file

their Motion for Rehearing. This request is not sought solely for delay, but

so that justice may be done.

         WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees request that

this Court grant their Motion for Extension of Time to file its Motion for

Rehearing.
