                                          Counsel for Dorfman Appellants
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:

      NOW COME Louis Dorfman, K.I. Holdings, Ltd., Sam Myers, JMD

Resources, Inc., Billy Cogdell Bowden, Barbara Stanfield, Stacey Dorfman

Kivowitz, Julia Dorfman, Mark Dorfman, Samuel Grant Dorfman, Individually

and as Independent Executor of the Estate of Sam Y. Dorfman, Deceased, and

John Pritchett, Trustee of the CKK 2012 Trust, Plaintiffs/Counter-Defendants

(hereinafter the “Dorfman Appellants”)       and file this Unopposed Motion for

Extension of Time to File Appellants’ Brief pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 10.5(b) and in support thereof would show the Court as follows:

      1.    The deadline for Appellants to file their Brief in this case is November

3, 2017.

      2.    Appellants seek an extension of time of thirty (30) days so that the

Response would be due on December 4, 2017.

      3.    The facts relied on to reasonably explain the need for an extension are

the following:

      a.    This case involves appeals by all parties of separate rulings by the trial

court on competing motions for summary judgment. Two of the Appellants on the

opposite side of the case from the Dorfman Appellants have requested similar

extensions of time to file their opening briefs so the requested extension will not

                                         2
delay presentation of this appeal to the Court and will maintain an orderly briefing

schedule.

      b.     Counsel has been out of his office most of this week with what has

been diagnosed as a sinus infection. This has caused a backlog of work and, while I

have returned to work today, I am not at 100%.

      4.     No previous extensions of time have been granted for filing the

Appellants’ Brief.

      5.     On October 31, 2017 and November 1, 2017, Undersigned Counsel

conferred by e-mail with the other parties in this case and this request for extension

of time to file Appellants’ Brief is not opposed.

      WHEREFORE, the Dorfman Appellants, respectfully request an extension

of time to file brief of thirty (30) days so that the Appellants’ Brief is due to be

filed on or before December 4, 2017.

                                              Respectfully Submitted,
