UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
MOTION FOR REHEARING OR EN BANC RECONSIDERATION
__________________________________________________________________

Appellant Jaguar Land Rover North America (“JLRNA”), in accordance

with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 2, 10.5(b), and 49.8, respectfully requests

a ten-day extension on the time for it to file a motion for rehearing or en banc

reconsideration of the court’s judgment of December 21, 2017. Appellees are

unopposed to this motion.
This Court rendered its judgment in this case, affirming in part and

dismissing in part, through a memorandum opinion dated December 21, 2017.

Appellant currently has until January 5, 2018 to file a motion for rehearing or a

motion for en banc reconsideration. See Tex. R. App. P. 49.1, 49.7.

Due to the holidays, Appellant requires additional time to fully assess the

Court’s order and prepare a motion for rehearing or a motion for en banc

reconsideration by the current deadline. Appellant respectfully requests an

extension of ten days to allow adequate time to prepare and file one of these

motions should it choose to do so. This extension would run to January 15, 2018.

This is the Appellants’ first request for an extension of time regarding either

motion. This request is not sought for delay, but in order that justice may be done

and in order that the parties may properly review the record and adequately address

the relevant questions at issue. No party will be harmed if this request for extension

of time is granted; indeed, all parties are in agreement in seeking this extension.

All facts recited in this motion are either in the record or within the personal

knowledge of the attorney signing this motion, therefore no verification is

necessary under Rule 10.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.

PRAYER

banc reconsideration of the court’s judgment.
