Counsel for Appellants
Motion
Appellants file this unopposed motion for an extension of time to file the
appellants’ reply brief. The filing’s present deadline is December 26, 2025.
Appellants request that this filing’s deadline be extended 30 days to make the filing
due on or before January 26, 2026. This is Appellants’ first request for an extension
of this filing’s deadline. This motion is unopposed.
Good cause for this extension exists. Lead appellate counsel has been and
continues to be engaged in other litigation with imminent deadlines that have
prevented him from completing the brief before the present deadline, including:
- Lead counsel representation for Megalomedia Inc. v. Philadelphia Ins. Co. No.
23-20570 in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, with an oral argument occurring November 3, 2025.
- Lead counsel representation for Defense Distributed v. YouTube LLC, Google LLC, and Alphabet, Inc., No. 1.25-cv-01095 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, with a hearing on a motion to transfer and motion to remand occurring November 6, 2025.
- Lead counsel representation for Second Street Properties, LLC v. Freeport Waterfront Properties LP, No. 01-25-00492-CV in the Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas at Houston, with the appellants’ brief filed November 14, 2025.
- Lead counsel representation for Luedtke v. Brouse., No. 1242514 in the Harris County Civil Court at Law No. 4, with trial occurring November 18, 2025.
For these reasons, Appellants respectfully request that the Court extend the
deadline for filing of the Appellants’ reply brief to January 26, 2026.
Conclusion
The Court should grant the motion’s requested extension and set the filing
deadline for the appellants’ reply brief at January 26, 2026.
Respectfully submitted,
