TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(B) and 55.7, the Appellee, Erasmo
Montalvo, files his Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File a Response to
Relator’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Motion for Temporary Relief.
Mr. Montalvo’s response is due May 28, 2015.
Counsel for Montalvo requests a 30 day extension of time to file his response,
making the response due on June 29, 2015. This is the first request for
extension of time to file the response.
Counsel for Mr. Montalvo relies on the following reasons to explain the need
for the requested extension:
Counsel for Montalvo has been out of the office for extended periods,
traveling to serve the needs of his clients around the state,
Spring is the busiest season for Montalvo’s counsel, and it has been
necessary to prepare a number of other cases that have required the
majority of his time and focus.
There have been no previous extensions granted in this cause.
This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.
Appellee’s counsel has conferred with Ellen Sameth, counsel for the
Appellants, and she has indicated she does not oppose this motion.
All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the
3
counsel signing this motion; therefore no verification is necessary under Texas Rule
of Appellate Procedure 10.2.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
For the reasons set forth above, the Real Party in Interest, Erasmo Montalvo,
requests that this Court grant this Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Mr.
Montalvo’s response and extend the deadline for filing the response to July 30,
2013.
Respectfully submitted,
BRIM, ARNETT & ROBINETT, P.C.
