Shawn Messonnier, DVM, Appellee. ___________________________________
On Appeal from the th 98 Judicial District Court, Travis County, Texas
APPELLEE’S FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF
Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d),
Appellee, Shawn Messonnier, DVM files this agreed motion for an extension of
time to file Appellee’s Brief, requesting an extension of time until January 31, 2025,
in which to file his brief in the captioned appeal, and in support shows:
Appellants’ Brief was filed on December 18, 2024.1
The current deadline for filing Appellee’s Brief is Friday, January 17, 2025.2
1 After an unopposed extension allowed by this Court. 2 The thirty days after the filing of Appellant’s Brief. APPELLEE’S FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF Page 1 of 3 Appellee requests, and Appellants do not oppose, a 14-day extension, for a new
filing deadline of Friday, January 31, 2025.
The reason for this extension is that the schedule for the Appellee’s Brief has
substantially overlapped the Christmas and New Year holidays and Appellee’s counsel
has had numerous scheduling conflicts, both personal and related to other cases. An
extension is necessary so that Counsel for Appellee can present this Court with the
authorities and argument necessary for a fully informed decision on this appeal.
Appellee has not previously sought any extension of time.
This extension is not sought for delay. No party will be prejudiced if it is
granted. As reflected in the Certificate of Conference below, Counsel for Appellants
do not oppose this motion.
For these reasons, Appellee prays that the Court grant this Motion for
Extension of Time to File Appellee’s Brief, extending the filing deadline until
Friday, January 31, 2025.
