                     UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                         TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEFS

                 _______________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      On September 25, 2015, the Court granted Appellee Gregorio “Greg” Casar’s

Unopposed Motion to Consolidate and Reset Briefing Deadlines. Accordingly, the

deadlines in both of the above-styled appeals run from the filings in No. 03-15-00505-

CV. Appellant filed his brief in No. 03-15-505-CV on October 27, 2015, making
Appellee’s briefs for both appeals due on November 16, 2015. Pursuant to Rule

10.5(b) and Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Appellee files this

unopposed motion and asks for a thirty (30) day extension of time by which to file his

briefs. Granting this motion would make the briefs due on December 16, 2015.

       Appellee seeks this extension because his appellate counsel, Kurt Kuhn, has

several other matters that have and continue to consume his docket, including:

          • Preparing an amicus brief in No. 14-0743; Southwest Royalties, Inc. v. Hegar;
            Supreme Court of Texas;

          • Preparing a Reply in Support of Petition for Review in No. 15-0504;
            Arbor Windsor Court, Ltd., v. Weekley Homes, L.P.; Supreme Court of
            Texas;

          • Preparing an amicus brief in No. 15-0523; ACE Cash Express, Inc. v. The
            City of Denton, Texas; in the Texas Supreme Court; and

          • Preparing a petition for review in No. 15-0725, Debra Hren v. Recruiting
            Partners GP, Inc. d/b/a Kinney Recruiting, Inc., due on December 4, 2015.

       This request is not made for the purpose of delay. It is necessary to allow

Appellee’s counsel time to properly prepare the briefs. This motion is the first

extension requested in this matter, and counsel for Appellants does not oppose the

relief sought.

                                        Prayer

       For these reasons, Appellee asks for an additional thirty (30) days to file his

briefs, extending the time until December 16, 2015.

Dated: November 9, 2015                  Respectfully submitted,
