On Appeal from the 53rd District Court, Travis County, Texas Cause No. D-1-GV-14-005380

UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ BRIEF ON THE MERITS

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

COME NOW, Appellants, Dr. Behzad Nazari, D.D.S., et al, and file this,

their Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellants’ Brief on the Merits,

and would show as follows:

The Appellants’ Brief on the Merits is due June 4, 2015. Appellants

respectfully request an extension of fifteen days to file their collective brief. The

Appellant Dental Group consists of over 15 entities, represented at the underlying trial by six law firms. The review and revision of Appellants’ brief by various trial

counsels is anticipated to take more time than is currently available under the

appellate briefing deadlines. In addition, lead counsel on this appeal has recently

engaged another law firm with expertise in the hyperlinking and technical aspects

of appellate e-filings to assure that the brief complies with the appellate filing rules

and is easy to navigate electronically.

Appellants’ trial counsel and appellate counsel expect to complete their

review of the brief and filing preparations within a week to ten days. An extension

of time would permit Appellants to prepare a more complete and technically

comprehensive response. This is the Appellants’ first request for an extension and

is unopposed by Appellees.

PRAYER

For this reason, Appellants request that the deadline for the filing of the

Brief of the Merits in this case be extended to June 19, 2015.
