_____________________________________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellees, Barbers Hill Independent School District, Chambers County and the
City of Mont Belvieu, file their Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File a response
to Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing and respectfully show the Court:
1. Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing was filed August 17, 2015.
2. On August 21, 2015, the Court requested Appellees to file response to the motion

3. Counsel for Appellees’ was traveling on other legal matter on the date the court

2015.
4. Counsel for Appellees has previously scheduled holiday time off for personal
matters from August 27 to August 30, 2015. 1
5. Due to the above and other work obligations, motion practice, administrative
matters and various settings throughout Texas, Appellees' counsel has not finalized
the response brief.
6. Appellees counsel request a short extension to file their brief, which makes it due
September 9, 2015.
7. This Motion is unopposed as evidenced by the Certificate of Conference.
8. This extension is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.2
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees pray that this Court
grant an extension of time to file Appellees’ brief, making it due on September 9, 2015
and for such other and further relief to which Appellees may be justly entitled.

Counsel for appellees is celebrating his 33rd wedding anniversary with his wife at an out of state location. If he is required
to work on a response brief during that time period, the current anniversary will be memorable for all the wrong reasons
and a 34th wedding anniversary will be in jeopardy.
