Cause No. 05-17-01050-cv; Earl L. Turner v. Nationstar Mortgage LLC
TO THE HONORBALE COURT OF APPEALS:

       Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d),

Appellee, Nationstar Mortgage LLC (“Nationstar”) file this motion for extension

of time to file Appellee’s Brief, and in support show as follows:

       1.      This is an appeal from the Trial Court’s order granting Appellee’s

motion for traditional summary judgment, entered on August 15, 2017.

       2.      Appellant’s brief was deemed filed on January 10, 2018.

       3.      Appellees’ brief is currently due on February 9, 2018. Appellee

seeks a 30-day extension of time until March 12, 2018, within which to file and

serve their brief and record excerpts.

       4.      The requested extension is not sought for purposed of delay only, but

so that justice may be served in this action. Specifically, Appellee’s counsel requests

an extension of time to file their brief due to the fact that the undersigned counsel

has recently been retained.

       5.        As a result, Appellee’s counsel will not have sufficient time

to complete preparation of Appellee’s brief by February 9, 2018. Accordingly,

Appellee requests an extension of time of until March 12, 2018, to file their brief

so that Appellee will have an adequate time to prepare its brief.

       6.      This is Appellee’s first request for an extension of time to file their

brief. No further requests for extension of tie are anticipated.
