ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANTS
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., ask the Court
to extend the time for filing their appellants’ brief by 30 days to and including
Monday, June 8, 2015.
1.
Information Required by Rule 10.5,
Tex. R. App. P.
The following information supports this request.
(i) Appellants’ brief is currently due to be filed May 8, 2015.
(ii) Appellants request that the deadline for filing their brief be extended by 30
days to and including Monday, June 8, 2015.
(iii) This is Appellants’ third request to extend the briefing deadline.
2.
Facts Explaining the Need to
Extend the Briefing Deadline
Counsel is unable to complete the appellants’ brief and secure the necessary
client review and approval by the current deadline. Besides work on this brief,
Greg Smith, lead counsel on appeal, has been and will be required to divide his
available briefing time among the following matters:
(i) No. 13-0986, Southwestern Energy Production Company vs. Toby Berry-Helfand and
Gery Muncey, In the Supreme Court of Texas (reply brief on merits);
2
(ii) No. 12-14-00288-CV, J. Mark Swinnea v. ERI Consulting Engineers, Inc. and
Larry Snodgrass, In the Twelfth Court of Appeals, Tyler, Texas (appellant’s
brief); and
(iii) No. 12-0517; Harleton Oil & Gas, Inc. v. Frank M. Bufkin, III, et al., In the 71st
District Court of Harrison County, Texas (responses to three motions for summary
judgment).
3.
This motion is not sought solely for delay, but in the interest of justice and
to ensure that Appellants’ brief sufficiently aids the Court’s decisional process.
4.
Conference with Opposing Counsel
Keith Dollahite, counsel for Appellees, states that the relief requested in this
motion is unopposed.
5.
Conclusion and Prayer
Appellants, David Tubb and Superior Shooting System, Inc., pray that the
Court would extend the time for filing their appellants’ brief by 30 days to and
including Monday, June 8, 2015.
