HOSKINS, INC., et al., Appellees.

FROM THE 36TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF MCMULLEN COUNTY, TEXAS

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE KULKA APPELLEES’ BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT:

NOW COME appellees Lee Ann Kulka, Andrea Jurica and Lee Roy

Hoskins, III (collectively, “Kulka Appellees”), in accord with Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure 2, 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), respectfully request that the time to

file their appellees’ brief be extended for thirty days until May 20, 2015.

1. The judgment form which this appeal is taken was signed by the judge

of the 36th Judicial District Court, McMullen County, Texas on October 21, 2014. Appellants’ Notice of Appeal was filed November 14, 2014. By order dated

January 23, 2015, this Court deemed that the Clerk’s record was filed.

2. Appellants’ Brief was originally due to be filed on February 23, 2015.

However, Appellants sought and were granted an extension of thirty (30) days in

which to file their Brief. Appellants’ brief was timely filed on March 20, 2015.

3. The Kulka Appellees’ brief is currently due on April 20, 2015. The

Kulka Appellees respectfully request an extension of thirty (30) days in which to

prepare and file their Appellees’ Brief until May 20, 2015. At least two orders

have been entered extending the deadline for Co-Appellees to file their briefs until

May 20, 2015.

4. This extension of time is requested to allow for coordination among

the Appellees and avoid duplication of the briefing presented to this Court. The

Kulka Appellees further request this extension because of conflicts associated with

counsel’s schedule, as well as other pending matters. Thus, the Kulka Appellees

respectfully request a thirty (30) day extension of the deadline to file their brief, or

until May 20, 2015.

5. This is the Kulka Appellees’ first request for an extension of time.

This request is not sought for delay, but in order that justice may be done, and in

order that the Kulka Appellees may properly review the record, examine and

consider the issues raised in Appellants’ brief and adequately address the issues in

2 this appeal. No party will be harmed if this request for extension of time is

granted.

WHEREFORE, appellees Lee Ann Kulka, Andrea Jurica and Lee Roy

Hoskins, III respectfully request that this Court grant the Kulka Appellees’

unopposed request for an extension of time to file their Appellees’ Brief until May

20, 2015. The Kulka Appellees pray for such other and further relief to which they

may be justly entitled.

Respectfully submitted,
