Attorneys at Law2 2135 E. Hildebrand Avenue San Antonio, Texas 78209 (210) 826-3339 Telephone (210) 826-3340 Facsimile Counsel for Dorfman Appellants TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS: NOW COME Louis Dorfman, K.I. Holdings, Ltd., Sam Myers, JMD Resources, Inc., Billy Cogdell Bowden, Barbara Stanfield, Stacey Dorfman Kivowitz, Julia Dorfman, Mark Dorfman, Samuel Grant Dorfman, Individually and as Independent Executor of the Estate of Sam Y. Dorfman, Deceased, and John Pritchett, Trustee of the CKK 2012 Trust, Plaintiffs/Counter-Defendants (hereinafter the “Dorfman Appellants”) and file this Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellants’ Brief pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and in support thereof would show the Court as follows: 1. The deadline for Appellants to file their Brief in this case is November 3, 2017.

2. Appellants seek an extension of time of thirty (30) days so that the Response would be due on December 4, 2017.

3. The facts relied on to reasonably explain the need for an extension are the following: a. This case involves appeals by all parties of separate rulings by the trial court on competing motions for summary judgment. Two of the Appellants on the opposite side of the case from the Dorfman Appellants have requested similar extensions of time to file their opening briefs so the requested extension will not

delay presentation of this appeal to the Court and will maintain an orderly briefing schedule.

b. Counsel has been out of his office most of this week with what has been diagnosed as a sinus infection. This has caused a backlog of work and, while I have returned to work today, I am not at 100%.

4. No previous extensions of time have been granted for filing the Appellants’ Brief.

5. On October 31, 2017 and November 1, 2017, Undersigned Counsel conferred by e-mail with the other parties in this case and this request for extension of time to file Appellants’ Brief is not opposed.

WHEREFORE, the Dorfman Appellants, respectfully request an extension of time to file brief of thirty (30) days so that the Appellants’ Brief is due to be filed on or before December 4, 2017.

Respectfully Submitted,
