                                     Appellee.

           Appeal from the 162nd Judicial District Court, Dallas County
                      Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-10307
                 The Honorable Phyllis Lister Brown, Presiding

   UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLEE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellee Lower Oak Lawn Investment, L.P. (“Appellee”) files this motion

pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) seeking an additional thirty

days to file its Appellee’s Brief in response to the Brief of Appellants. In support

thereof, Appellee states the following:
                                   A. Introduction

      1.     Appellee’s Brief in response to the Appellants’ Brief is due on

November 4, 2015. Appellee seeks a thirty-day extension to file its Appellee’s

Brief on or before December 4, 2015. This is Appellee’s first request for an

extension for this brief and the extension is unopposed by the Appellants.

                            B. Arguments & Authorities

      2.     Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide in Rule 38.6(d):

      On motion complying with Rule 10.5(b), the appellate court may extend the
      time for filing a brief and may postpone submission of the case. A motion to
      extend the time to file a brief may be filed before or after the date the brief is
      due. …

      3.     Appellee seeks this extension as the parties attempt to facilitate a

resolution and eliminate the need for this appeal.

      4.     Appellee’s counsel has contacted Appellants’ counsel; this motion is

unopposed. This extension of time is not sought solely for the purpose of delay,

but so that justice may be done.

                                   C. Conclusion

      5.     Appellee respectfully requests that the Court grant its first request for

extension of time to file Appellee’s Brief and order that the deadline to file

Appellee’s Brief is extended to December 4, 2015.
