    APPELLEE’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE RESPONSE TO
    APPELLANT’S MOTION TO STAY
    Appellee Deydra Steans asks the court to extend the time to file her brief.
    A. Introduction
    1. Appellant is Manor Independent School District.
    2. Appellee is Deydra Steans.
    3. The deadline to file this response is May 26, 2015.
    4. The parties have agreed to this motion.
    B. Argument and Authorities
    5. The Court has authority under TRAP 55.7 and 10.5 to extend the time to file
    the brief.
    6. Appellee requests an additional 30 days to file her brief.
    7. No extension has been granted to extend the time to file Appellee’s brief.
    8. Appellant needs additional time because the parties have engaged in
    settlement negotiations and the parties believe the matter has settled. A
    preliminary mediator proposal has been approved by both sides and the
    parties are attempting to finalize a settlement agreement.
    C. Conclusion
    9. Because the parties have resolved the matter and need time to finalize a
    settlement it is necessary to extend the time for the response to the
    outstanding motion.
    D. Prayer
    10. For these reasons Appellee asks the Court to grant an extension of time to file
    her brief until June 26th, 2015.
