                           APPELLEES’ AGREED MOTION TO EXTEND
                             DEADLINE TO FILE APPELLEES’ BRIEF

    TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

             Appellees Victor Antolik, Dennis Antolik, and Cheval Manor, Inc.

    (“Appellees”) file this agreed motion to extend their deadline to file Appellees’

    brief.

             This is an interlocutory appeal of a temporary injunction. See Tex. Civ.

    Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(a)(4). Under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

    (“TRAP”) 28.1, interlocutory appeals allowed by statute are deemed accelerated

    appeals. Under TRAP 38.6 and Local Appellate Rule 57, the deadline to file the

    8590-02/00537370.000
                                             1
appellee’s brief in an accelerated appeal is twenty (20) days after the filing of the

appellant’s brief. Hence, Appellees’ brief is due by October 6, 2015, which is

twenty (20) days after Appellants Victory Cheval Holdings, LLC, Garrett Jennings,

and Castle Crown Management, LLC (“Appellants”) filed their brief on September

16, 2015 after receiving an extension from this Court.

         On September 28, 2015, Appellants’ counsel agreed to extend Appellees’

deadline to file their brief until October 20, 2015. The following day, the parties

attended mediation. Although no settlement was reached, the parties have agreed

on a general framework that they hope will result in a final resolution of all

disputes between the parties, including this appeal. The parties are continuing to

negotiate the final points of an agreement, and, in the meantime, they have agreed

to continue the hearing on their cross-motions for contempt and have requested an

extension of their deadline to file supplemental clerk’s and reporter’s records with

this Court. An extension of Appellee’s briefing deadline will save Appellees time

and expense preparing a brief that they hope will be unnecessary once the parties’

settlement is finalized.

                                      PRAYER

         Accordingly, Appellees Victor Antolik, Dennis Antolik, and Cheval Manor,

Inc. respectfully request that the Court extend their deadline to file Appellees’ brief

until October 20, 2015.
