Page 1 of 4 TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT AND THE COURT CLERK: COME NOW, Appellant Rosalinda E. Romero, and hereby files this Unopposed Motion for Extension of Deadline to File Appellant’s Brief, and would respectfully show the Court as follows: The clerk’s record in this case was filed September 5, 2025.
The Appellee filed its Motion to Transfer Appeal to the Fifteenth Court of Appeals on August 20, 2025. The Appellant filed her Response to Appellee’s Motion to Transfer Appeal to the Fifteenth Court of Appeals on September 2, 2025, and the Appellee filed its Reply on September 5, 2025. On October 28, 2025, the Third Court of Appeals issued its Order and Memorandum Opinion transferring this appeal to the Fifteenth Court of Appeals.
On October 28, 2025, the undersigned received the Fifteenth Court of Appeals notice stating that the Appellant’s brief was due on October 6, 2025.
Appellant is requesting a twenty three (27) day extension requesting that the deadline be extended to November 26, 2025. This is the first request for an extension.
Counsel for Appellant has had numerous hearings and responses to motions the past several weeks, and needs additional time to prepare Appellant’s Brief.
In addition, Appellant was unclear which Court the brief would be filed in and did not have this Court’s cause number until very recently. Appellant never received
Page 2 of 4 notice from the Third Court of Appeals that a brief was due and Appellant was waiting on the filing of a reporters record before filing a brief. Appellant has now recently been informed that a reporters record does not exist. As such, Appellant was unaware that a brief was due and had even checked the Third Court of Appeals website which did not indicate a brief was due.
This request for extension of time is not being made for purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done.
PRAYER WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the Court extend the deadline to file Appellant’s Brief until November 26, 2025.
CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE Counsel for Plaintiff has contacted counsel for Appellee who has stated that he is unopposed to this motion.
