                    Court Cause No. M-12-0045-CV-A

                                      FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                                     TO FILE APPELLEE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

        COMES NOW Appellee Jane W. Hoskins ("Hoskins"), in accord with

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 2, 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), and respectfully moves this Court for

an unopposed extension of time to file his Appellee's Brief.

        1. This appeal it taken from a judgment entered October 21, 2014, by the 36th Judicial

District Court of McMullen County, in Cause No. M-12-0045-CV-A, styled Brad Aery and

Randi Aery, et al. v. Hoskins, Inc., et al.
       2. Appellant's Notice of Appeal was filed November 14, 2014. By order dated January 23,

2015, this Court deemed that the Clerk's record was filed.

       3. Appellants' Brief was originally due to be filed on February 23, 2015. However,

Appellants sought and were granted an extension of thirty (30) days in which to file their Brief.

Appellants' brief was timely filed on March 20, 2015.

       4. Hoskins respectfully requests an extension of thirty (30) days in which to prepare and file

his Appellee's brief, making the new deadline May 20, 2015.

       5. undersigned counsel for Appellants conferred by email with Rosemarie Kanusky,

counsel of record for the House Appellants, and Dan Pozza, counsel of record for the Aery

Appellants, concerning the requested extension. No party is opposed.

       6. Appellee Hoskins requires an extension of time to file his reply brief because he

was recently employed in this matter (after believing that other counsel would represent this

Appellee. Other Appellees have also filed unopposed motions for extension of time and this

Appellee adopts the rationale expressed therein.

       7. This is Appellee's first request for an extension of time. This request is not sought

for delay, but in order that justice may be done, and in order that Appellee may examine and

consider the issues raised in Appellants' brief, and adequately address issues in this appeal.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellee Jane W.. Hoskins respectfully

requests that the Court grant this motion and extend the deadline to file his brief for thirty days to
May 20, 2015. Appellee further requests such other relief to which he may be justly entitled.

                                     Respectfully submitted,

                                     /s/ Benjamin F. Youngblood III
