On Appeal from the 269th District Court of Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2014-35653

APPELLEES’ JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:

Defendant-Appellees Harris County and Christopher Prine, District Clerk for

the First Court of Appeals, move for a 20-day extension of time to file their briefs in

response to Plaintiff-Appellant Adams= brief. This is the first extension sought by

Appellees in this interlocutory appeal. Further, Appellants were afforded an

extension of time to file their brief.

Currently, Appellees’ briefs are due on July 9, 2015. The undersigned

contend that the need for an extension is not due to sloth or neglect, and is not

requested for the purpose of delay. An extension is requested so that counsel may

have adequate time to review the clerk and reporters records, their own records, and

file thorough briefs, thereby preserving judicial economy. Therefore, Appellees

respectfully request a 20-day extension to file Appellees’ briefs.

Respectfully submitted,

KEN PAXTON Attorney General of Texas
