No. 17-0400

The Supreme Court of Texas STATE FARM LLOYDS Petitioner / Cross-Respondent v. DENNIS WEBB Respondent / Cross-Petitioner

On Petition for Review from the Ninth Court of Appeals—Beaumont, Texas No. 09-15-00408-CV

JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE REPLIES TO THE PETITIONS FOR REVIEW

Petitioner State Farm Lloyds and Cross-Petitioner Dennis Webb file this Joint

Motion for Extension of Time to file replies to the responses to the Petitions for

Review filed by the parties pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b),

and respectfully states as follows:

1. This is the first request for an extension of time to file replies to the

petitions for review in this case. 2. The current deadline for State Farm Lloyds to file its motion is

January 4, 2018.

3. The current deadline for Webb to file his motion is also January 4, 2018.

4. The parties have agreed to request an extension of the deadline to file

their motions until and including Monday, February 5, 2018. The extension is

needed to accommodate counsel for both parties, who have numerous preexisting

family obligations associated with the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. The

relief sought by this motion is so that justice may be done, and is not sought solely

for delay or any other improper purpose.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, Petitioner State Farm Lloyds and Cross-Petitioner Dennis

February 5, 2018.
