them in the underlying case. Appellee noticed a cross-appeal of that Final

Appellant’s brief is currently due, on third extension, no later than June 1,

This is Appellee’s/Cross-Appellant’s third request for an extension.

The following matters have prevented the undersigned from devoting

sufficient time to prepare that brief.

1. The undersigned is lead counsel and responsible for preparing a reply brief in Hardriders Motorcycle Club Association, et al. v. Hardriders, Inc., No. 14-14-00234-CV, in the Fourteenth Court of Appeals. That reply brief was filed on May 18, 2015.

from finishing the Appellee’s/Cross-Appellant’s brief in this case by the

current deadline. This request is sought not solely for delay, but in order

that the Appellee’s/Cross-Appellant’s Brief and the issues to be presented

therein may be clearly and concisely presented to this Court and so that

justice may be served.
