                                2
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:


       Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.1 and 38.6(d), the Appellee, David Stern

(“Stern” herein), files this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File

Appellee’s Brief and will show the court as follows:



       Stern’s response brief is due April 22, 2015. Counsel for Stern requests a

thirty day extension of time to file his brief, making the brief due May 22, 2015.

This is the first extension of time to file the response brief.



       Counsel for Stern relies on the following reasons in support of the

extension of time:



       The initial clerk’s record was incomplete. A supplement to the clerk’s

record was recently filed with this Court on or about April 9, 2015. The

undersigned counsel for Stern is in the process of obtaining the supplemental

clerk’s record.



       Moreover, counsel for Appellant informed the undersigned counsel today

that she intends to supplement her Appellant brief to reflect the supplemental

clerk’s record.


                                              3
       Counsel for Stern seeks a continuance of approximately 30 days so as to be

able to submit a complete and accurate Appellee brief that properly addresses the

relevant documents in the clerk’s record and to address the anticipated

supplemental brief of Appellant.



       This request is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.



       All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the

counsel signing this motion. Therefore, no verification is necessary under Texas

Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.2.



                            PRAYER FOR RELIEF



       For the reasons set forth above, Appellee, David Stern, requests that this

Court grant this Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s Brief

and extend the deadline for filing the Appellee’s Brief until not earlier than May

22, 2015. Stern requests all other relief to which he may be justly entitled.



                                    Respectfully Submitted,


                                    /s/ Brent A. Devere
