         UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
            RESPONSE TO APPELLEES’ MOTION TO DISMISS
           _________________________________________________

      Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.1 and 10.5(b), Appellants herein, file this

unopposed motion for a 30-day extension of time in which to file their response to

Appellees’ motion to dismiss.

      Appellants ask this Court to extend the deadline for filing their response to

Appellees’ motion to dismiss from May 18, 2015, through and until June 17, 2015. In

support of this requested extension, Appellants would show the following:
                                             1
       1. The current deadline for filing Appellants’ response to Appellees’ motion to

dismiss is May 18, 2015.

       2. Appellants request a 30-day extension of time in which to file their response to

Appellees’ motion to dismiss because Appellees’ motion raises new issues that

previously have not been argued in this case. Additionally, time is needed to coordinate

among the multiple Appellants and their counsel.

       3. Appellants respectfully ask that their request for a 30-day extension be granted

so they will have sufficient time to prepare a response to Appellees’ motion to dismiss

that is comprehensive, concise, and useful to this Court’s consideration.

       4. This is Appellants’ first request for an extension to file their response to

Appellees’ motion to dismiss.

       5. Appellees do not oppose the granting of the motion for extension.

       WHEREFORE, Appellants pray that this Court grant their unopposed motion for

an extension of time in which to file their response to Appellees’ motion to dismiss and

extend the deadline for filing the response from May 18, 2015, through and until June 17,

2015. Appellants also request such other and further relief to which they may be entitled.
