DIANA D., et al APPELLEES

ON APPEAL FROM THE 200TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, HON. TIM SULAK, PRESIDING

SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION REQUESTING EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEES’ BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

Come now Appellees Diana D. et al. and submit this Motion For Extension

of Time to File Appellees’ Brief as follows.

1) Appellees’ Brief regarding the interlocutory appeal of the trial court’s grant

of a temporary injunction is due on January 4, 2015. Appellees are requesting a

thirty day extension of time to file Appellees’ Brief, which would make the brief

due on February 3, 2016.

2) Good cause exists for allowing Appellees additional time to file their Brief.

The parties have agreed to mediate this case and the Court has previously granted

an extension of time to permit the parties to mediate the case. The parties are still

planning to mediate, however due to the holiday schedule the parties will not be

able to conduct the mediation prior to the current due date of Appellees’ brief.

Appellees request an extension of time to file their brief to avoid incurring

additional expense involved with preparation of the brief in the event that

mediation is successful. Appellants’ do not oppose this request.

3) This motion is not sought for delay but so that justice may be served.

Wherefore, Appellees pray that the Court grant their thirty day extension

request to file their brief to February 3, 2016, and for such other relief to which

they may be entitled.

Respectfully submitted,
