On Appeal from the 234th Judicial District Court Of Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2013-17308 ______________________________________________

UNOPPOSED MOTION OF APPELLANT, IRMA K. ORTEGA, TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S REPLY BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

Appellant, IRMA K. ORTEGA, moves the Court for an extension of

time to file Appellant’s Reply Brief. In support, Appellant states as follows:

Appellant’s reply brief is currently due January 9, 2015.

Appellant is requesting an extension to file her reply brief, to and

including Monday, February 9, 2015.

1|Page This extension is made necessary due to Appellant’s counsel’s

involvement in the following matter:

Preparation of Appellee’s Brief in the case styled Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool, Appellant v. Lloyd K. Aldridge, Appellee, Cause No. 13-14-00670-CV, in the Court of Appeals for the Thirteenth District of Texas.

Also, Appellee filed his brief on December 22, 2014, shortly before— and for some, during—the Christmas and New Year holiday season. People in the office of counsel for Ms. Ortega who would otherwise be working on the brief, had holiday time off during that period.

This is the first extension of time requested by Appellant, Irma K.

Ortega, on Appellant’s Reply Brief.

Counsel for Appellee has agreed to this extension.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

Appellant, Irma K. Ortega, requests that the Court grant her motion for

an extension of time to file Appellant’s Reply Brief to a date up to and

including February 9, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
