FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME - APPELLEES’ BRIEF Page !1 Appellees need additional time to prepare and file their brief. Appellees ask the Court to grant an extension of time to Monday June 8, 2015, an extension of 30 days. When Appellants filed their brief, Appellees became aware of a potential need to request supplementation of the appellate record. Accordingly, Appellees filed two reporter’s record requests, on April 17 and April 30, after expending a week or so tracking down the court reporters, neither of whom still worked at the 216th Judicial District Court. Additionally, Appellees’ counsel was retained to assist in a complex proceeding, City of San Antonio Board of Adjustment & Sarosh Mgmt, LLC v. East Central ISD, Cause No. 04-14-00341-CV, due to the unexpected demise of Sarosh Managements’ counsel prior to filing a motion for rehearing related to this Court’s opinion issued on March 18, 2015. The motion for rehearing is due to be filed May 4, 2015. The extension requested herein is sought in the interest of justice and not for purpose of delay, and will not harm or prejudice any party. PRAYER Appellees respectfully request that this Court grant the requested extension of time, and any other proper or necessary relief.
