APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE
    RESPONSE TO APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

     Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b and 49.8, Appellees

Sandcastle Homes, Inc. (“Sandcastle”), and NewBiss Property, L.P. (“NewBiss”)
 respectfully move the Court to extend the deadline to file Appellees’ response to

 Appellant's Motion for Rehearing. In support of this motion, Appellees show the

 Court as follows:

      1.    The deadline to file Appellees’ Response to Appellant’s Motion for

Rehearing is May 20, 2015.

      2.    Appellees seek an extension of 15 days.

      3.    The extension is sought to compensate for scheduling conflicts of

Appellees’ counsel. Blaine Hummel is getting married on May 16, 2015 and

preparing for his wedding. Mr. Hummel is also scheduled to attend a court ordered

mediation on May 20, 2015, in Adversary No. 14-0328, Knorvek, LLC, v.

Unlimited Restoration Specialists, Inc., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for

the Southern District of Texas. He is also set for trial on May 22, 2015 in

Adversary No. 13-03315, Aleta Renee Chapman v. Green Tree Servicing, et al.,

also in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Additionally, Brad Irelan will be attending the graduation of his daughter in

Virginia from May 15-18, 2015.

      4.    This is the first extension requested and is not sought for the purposes

of delay.

      5.    Appellants are unopposed to this motion.
      For these reasons, Appellees pray that this Court grant an extension of time

to file their Response to Appellant’s Motion in this matter through and including

June 4, 2015.
