William R. and Susan M. Knoderer v. State Farm Lloyds, Penni Perkins, and Tom Roberts

Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals

Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-16-00009-CV

WILLIAM R. AND SUSAN M. KNODERER, Appellants V.

STATE FARM LLOYDS, PENNI PERKINS, AND TOM ROBERTS, Appellees

On Appeal from the 354th District Court Hunt County, Texas

Trial Court No. 74,037

Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.

ORDER

The appellants, William R. and Susan M. Knoderer, filed their appellate brief in this Court on July 11, 2016, making the appellees’ brief originally due August 10, 2016. The appellees’ briefing deadline was extended twice by this Court on the motion of their appellate counsel, resulting in the most recent due date of September 30, 2016. Appellees’ counsel has now filed a third motion seeking an additional extension of the briefing deadline.

We have reviewed counsel’s third motion to extend time as well as the appellate record in this case, and we are not unsympathetic to the circumstances counsel has faced over the past few months. Consequently, while we are not technically granting counsel’s motion for an extension of time, we are granting counsel the full amount of time he requested in his motion. As counsel has assured our clerk’s office that he can complete the brief if given an additional thirty days to do so, we order counsel to file the appellees’ appellate brief with this Court on or before October 31, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
