APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
_______________
Appellee, the Commission for Lawyer Discipline, asks the Court, pursuant
to Rule 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, for an extension of time
of seven (7) days to file Appellee’s brief.
I.
This is an appeal from a Final Judgment entered on January 8, 2015, against
Appellant, Craig A. Washington, in Cause No. 29,123, styled Commission for
Lawyer Discipline v. Craig A. Washington, in the 335th Judicial District Court of
Bastrop County, Texas.
II.
Appellant timely perfected his appeal. The clerk’s record was filed on May
8, 2015, and supplemental clerk’s records were filed on June 2, 2015, and July 9,
2015. The reporter’s record was filed on May 15, 2015. Appellant filed his brief
on August 17, 2015.
III.
This is Appellee's second request for an extension of time to file its brief.
After one extension of time, Appellee’s brief was due to be filed on October 16,
2015. Appellee requests an additional seven (7) days to file the brief, to and
including October 23, 2015. Appellee’s counsel, the undersigned attorney, needs
additional time to file the brief for the following reasons:
The undersigned filed a response to a post-submission brief in John Doe v.
Board of Directors of the State Bar of Texas, et al in the Third Court of
Appeals (No. 03-15-00007-CV) on October 14, 2015.
The undersigned presented oral argument on October 13, 2015, in William
Schultz v. Commission for Lawyer Discipline, before the Board of
Disciplinary Appeals (BODA No. 5649);
The undersigned filed a brief in Charles Septowski v. Commission for
Lawyer Discipline (Board of Disciplinary Appeals No. 55901) on September
22, 2015;
The undersigned presented oral argument on September 16, 2015, in John
Doe v. Board of Directors of the State Bar of Texas, et al, before the Third
Court of Appeals (No. 03-15-00007-CV); and
The undersigned filed a brief in Holly Crampton v. Commission for Lawyer
Discipline in the Eighth Court of Appeals (No. 08-15-00074-CV) on August
10, 2015.
IV.
For these reasons, Appellee prays that this Court grant Appellee’s motion in
this cause for seven (7) days until October 23, 2015.
