IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FILED IN 6th COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT TEXARKANA

TEXARKANA, TEXAS ————————————————————————————————— 4/13/2015 10:55:34 AM RICHARD PARKER DEBBIE AUTREY Clerk Appellant v.

JOANN PARKER NEAL

Appellee —————————————————————————————————

On Appeal from the 276th District Court of Camp County Robert Rolston, Judge Presiding —————————————————————————————————

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION

OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF —————————————————————————————————

Appellee JoAnn Parker Neal moves for an unopposed extension of time to file her Appellee’s brief in this proceeding and states the following in support: I.

Appellee’s brief is due to be filed on April 24, 2015. Appellee respectfully requests a thirty-day extension of time, until May 24, 2015, to file her brief. Appellee is not filing this motion for the purpose of delay, but in the interest of justice.

II.

Appellant Richard Parker requested and was granted two unopposed extensions of time to file his Appellant’s brief.

III.

Appellee has been represented in this appeal by her trial counsel, Lance Hinson. Appellee has now determined that it would be in her best interest to be represented on appeal by an attorney who focuses his practice on appellate law. As such, Appellee hired Chad Ruback to be her lead appellate counsel. Ruback is filing his notice of appearance of counsel and designation of lead counsel contemporaneously with this motion.

Ruback is busy preparing the following other appellate briefs: (1) an appellant’s brief in LBSP, Inc. Forest Dale, Inc., 05-14-01295-CV in the Dallas Court of Appeals, due on April 15, 2015; and (2) an appellant’s reply brief in Meyer v. Meyer, 05-14-00655-CV in the Dallas Court of Appeals, due on May 15, 2015.

Consequently, Ruback will be unable to complete Appellee’s brief in this case by the April 24, 2015 deadline.

IV.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellee JoAnn Parker Neal prays that this Court enter an order granting her Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellee’s Brief and specifying that Appellee’s brief be filed on or before May 24, 2015.

Respectfully submitted, /s/ Chad M. Ruback
