 ________________________________________________________________

     Appellee, Andrew Lofters, asks the Court to extend the time to file the motion

 for rehearing.

                                 A. Introduction

  1. Appellant is Austin Independent School District; Appellee is Andrew
 Lofters.

   2. This motion is filed within the 15-day period to file a motion to extend the

 time to file a motion for rehearing, as required by Texas Rule of Appellate

 Procedure 49.8.

   3. The parties have agreed to this motion.

                          B. Argument & Authorities

  4. The Court has the authority under Rule 49.8 to extend the time for a party to

file a motion for rehearing.

  5. Appellee’s motion for rehearing is due on April 16, 2015.

  6. Appellee requests an additional 12 days to file the motion for rehearing,

extending the time until April 28, 2015.

  7. No extension has been granted to extend the time to file the motion for
rehearing.

  8. Appellee needs additional time to file the motion for rehearing because

Appellee’s counsel has an unusual heavy docket schedule. Appellee’s request to

extend time is for good cause and is not intended to delay these proceedings.

                               C. Conclusion/Prayer

  9. For these reasons, Appellee asks the Court to grant an extension of time to

file the motion for rehearing until April 28, 2015.
