On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 Travis County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. C-1-CV-15-006351 ______________________________________________________

APPELLEE’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLEE’S BRIEF

To the Honorable Court of Appeals:

A. Introduction and Procedural Status

1. This is an appeal from a forcible detainer action in the County Court

at Law No. 2, Travis County, Texas. Appellants filed their respective Notices of

Appeal on September 5, 4014.

2. Appellee now respectfully requests the Court extend the time to file

its brief.

B. Argument & Authorities

3. Appellant Kevin Bierwirth, pro se, filed his Brief on March 6, 2015.

4. Appellant Dana Dutschmann, pro se, filed her Brief on March 31,

2015.

5. Appellee’s Brief is due on April 30, 2015.

6. No previous extension has been requested or granted to extend the

time to file Appellee’s brief.

7. Undersigned counsel has worked diligently in preparing a responsive

brief to the two separate briefs filed by Appellants. To date, undersigned counsel

has prepared a draft of Appellee’s brief, but has yet to complete the brief due to

preparation for the upcoming trial of an unrelated matter, and numerous recent

deposition obligations.

8. Accordingly, Appellee and undersigned counsel now request an

additional one (1) week extension of time for Appellee to file its brief in this

matter.

9. This brief extension of time will not prejudice any party to this

proceeding.

C. Prayer

10. For these reasons, Appellee Federal National Mortgage Association

respectfully requests that the Court grant an additional one (1) week extention of

time for Appellee to file its brief.

Respectfully submitted,
