Kenneth Leo Buholtz v. Texas Department of Transportation ( 2019 )

Order entered April 4, 2019 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-01284-CV KENNETH LEO BUHOLTZ, Appellant V. TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 6 Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 006-02337-2018 ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s April 1, 2019 motion for a forty-five day extension to file his brief. Appellant explains the extension is necessary because a motion he filed challenging the Court’s jurisdiction and a motion he filed seeking sanctions against appellee remain pending. Appellant also seeks the extension based on the record of a hearing held in a special commissioner’s court in an on-going companion case involving eminent domain not being filed. Appellant asserts the trial court could address the issue of the record if the Court gives “fair and just consideration” to his challenge to the jurisdiction. We GRANT appellant’s motion to the extent we SUSPEND the briefing deadline pending the Court’s determination of appellant’s motions challenging the Court’s jurisdiction and for sanctions. /s/ ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE
