              APPELLEES’ THIRD UNOPPOSED MOTION
         FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEES’ BRIEFS
        Appellees Emjo Investments, Ltd. and H.J. von der Goltz file this Third

Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellees’ Briefs under the

authority of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and would respectfully

show the following:

        1.      This is an accelerated appeal from an order of the 215th Judicial

District Court entered November 17, 2014, denying the Special Appearances of

John T. Preston and C Change Investments, LLC.

        2.      Preston and C Change filed separate opening briefs on June 12, 2015.

        3.      Appellees’ responsive briefs are due to be filed on or before July 27,

2015.

        4.      This motion seeks an extension of time of 4 days, up to and including

July 31, 2015, to file Appellees’ responsive briefs.

        5.      This is Appellees’ third request for an extension to file their briefs. On
July 20, 2015, the Court granted Appellees’ second request for an extension,

setting the deadline to file as July 27, 2015. The court’s order stated that no further

extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances.

      6.     Counsel for Appellees has been ill with a stomach virus since July 20,

2015, and has been unable to work on the briefs due herein as well as other matters

since that time and continues to be unable to work on same due to her health.

      7.     Counsel for Appellees believes that the four-day extension requested

herein will not interfere with the trial of this matter, currently set for May 2016.

      Wherefore Appellees Emjo Investments, Ltd. and H.J. von der Goltz

respectfully request that the Court find that exceptional circumstances exist for a

further extension and extend the time for them to file their responsive briefs by 4

days, up to and including July 31, 2015.


                                               Respectfully submitted,
