The State of Texas, et al.,
Appellants,
v.
Broadmoor Austin Associates, a Texas joint venture,
Appellee.
On Appeal from the 455th Judicial District of Travis County, No. D-1-GN-23-007899
Unopposed Motion for Extension of time to File Appellee’s Brief
1. Appellee Broadmoor Austin Associates asks the Court to grant it a 30-
day extension of time to file the Brief of Appellee in this appeal.
2. The current due date is April 7, 2025. The new due date would be May
7, 2025.
3. Appellee does not seek this extension for delay.
4. This is the first extension Appellee has sought for its brief.
5. Appellants do not oppose this extension.
6. The following grounds provide additional good cause for extending the
time to file the Appellee’s brief:
• Lead appellate counsel for Appellee is new to this case and an extension would allow sufficient time to review the record from the proceedings below and address the issues on appeal.
• Lead appellate counsel for Appellee has been and continues to be engaged in other litigation with significant time commitments that make it impracticable to complete Appellee’s brief by the current deadline, including preparing a petition for rehearing en banc in Attia v. Oura Ring, Inc., No. 24-2622 (9th Cir.), currently due April 4; preparing a plea to the jurisdiction in a matter in which counsel has not yet appeared; and preparing a response to a petition for a writ of mandamus in a case in counsel has not yet appeared.
• Additional counsel for Appellee have likewise been engaged in other litigation with significant time commitments, including preparation for trial set for March 24 but ultimately continued in CW Park Oaks, LLC v. Bexar Appraisal District, No. 2023-CI- 15912 (37th Dist. Ct. Bexar Cnty.); taking depositions and preparing various discovery filings during the weeks March 24 and March 31 Summit Sky Advisory, LLC v. Eastern Airlines, LLC, No. 1:23-CV-1332 (W.D. Tex.); and preparing for a trial set for April 7, in Forest Oaks Living, LLC v. Bexar Appraisal District, No. 2023-CI-15777 (224th Dist. Ct. Bexar Cnty.).
Conclusion and Prayer
For these reasons, Appellee requests a 30-day extension of time to file Appel-
lee’s Brief, to May 7, 2025.
