David Lauer v. Travis County Medical Examiners ( 2014 )

NUMBER 13-13-00610-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
DAVID LAUER, Appellant,
v.
TRAVIS COUNTY MEDICAL
EXAMINERS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 98th District Court
of Travis County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Benavides and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant’s second motion for extension of time
to file the brief. This appeal was transferred to this Court from the Third Court of Appeals
by order of the Texas Supreme Court. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.220(a) (West
Supp. 2011) (delineating the jurisdiction of appellate courts); TEX.GOV'T CODE ANN. §
73.001 (West 2005) (granting the supreme court the authority to transfer cases from one
court of appeals to another at any time that there is “good cause” for the transfer).
Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed on December 6, 2013, and this Court
has previously granted appellant an extension for the filing of appellant’s brief in this
cause. Appellant has now filed his second motion requesting additional time to file the
appellate brief in this cause.
The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's second motion for
extension of time to file the brief and the extension previously granted in this cause, is of
the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's second motion for extension of time
to file the brief should be granted with order. The Court, however, looks with disfavor
upon the delay caused by counsel's failure to have filed a brief in this matter.
Appellant's second motion for extension of time to file the brief is hereby
GRANTED, and appellant is hereby ORDERED to file the appellate brief with this Court
on or before April 7, 2014.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
11th day of February, 2014.
