COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER ON MOTION Cause number: 01-14-00805-CV Style: In the Interest of A.L.W. and A.N.W., Children Date motion filed*: April 27, 2015 Type of motion: First Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Tardy Brief Party filing motion: Appellant’s substitute appellate counsel William M. Thursland Document to be filed: Appellant’s Brief on Merits Is appeal accelerated? Yes If motion to extend time: Original due date: April 8, 2015 Number of extensions granted: 0 Current Due Date: May 18, 2015 Date Requested: May 4, 2015 Ordered that motion is:  Granted  Denied  Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)  Other: _____________________________________ Although this Court’s March 12, 2015 Abatement Order stated that appellant’s brief will be due within 20 days of appointment, the trial clerk did not file the supplemental clerk’s record in this Court until late on April 24, 2015, which contained the trial court’s order, signed that day, appointing substitute counsel. Early on April 28, 2015, the Clerk of this Court sent notice, dated April 27, 2015, reinstating this case and setting appellant’s brief deadline within 20 days of that notice, or by May 18, 2015. Thus, because appellant’s motion was filed before receipt of the Clerk’s notice, the motion is dismissed as moot, as the deadline is May 18, 2015, but no further extensions will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.
