    JEFFREY S. SHANNON, II, APPELLEE
    Appealed from the 312TH Judicial District Court
    of Harris County, Texas
    MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’s BRIEF
    Appellant Lynne M. Jurek asks the court to extend the time to file her
    Appellant’s Brief.
    A. Introduction
    1.      Appellant is Lynne M. Jurek.; Appellee is Jeffrey S Shannon, II.
    2.      No rule limits the time to file this motion to extend. TRAP 38.6.
    3.      The parties have not agreed to this motion as Appellee has not responded to
    the email correspondence sent prior to the filing of this request which is the only
    method of service provided to the trial court by him.
    B. Arguments and Authorities
    4.      The court may grant an extension of time under Texas Rule of Appellate
    Procedure 38.6.

    01-15-00092-CV - Motion to Extend Time to File Appellate Brief
    5.      The deadline to file the appellant’s brief is May 26, 2015.
    6.      Appellant requests an additional 30 days to file appellant’s brief, extending
    the time until June 25, 2015.
    5.      This case is a family property division case. The only issue presented on
    appeal is whether the trial court erred in finding that “the taxes on the gross
    distribution of Wife’s 401K are NOT related to the employment income and do not
    fall under the language in the Divorce Decree and those taxes are to be paid 100%
    by the Wife.”
    6.      After this notice of appeal was perfected, on February 18, 2015 the the trial
    court court signed an order granting a new trial of a final and appealable clarification
    order it entered on October 28, 2014. Appellant filed a timely request to vacate this
    order granting new trial which was filed by Appellee, claiming it was entered after
    the court lost plenary power. The trial court’s hearing the request to vacate this order
    is scheduled for May 27, 2015. Should the trial court refuse to vacate the order,
    additional grounds will need to be presented to the appellate court, as appellant feels
    that this order for new trial (which is presently scheduled for July 27, 2015 and
    includes the issue on appeal herein) is a void order for which relief from this court
    will need to be sought as well
    7.      No extension has been granted to extend the time to file appellant’s brief.
