Original Court Document: View Document
Respondent Glenn Hegar, Comptroller of Public Accounts of Texas, filed an Unopposed Motion for a 15-Day Extension to submit the Comptroller’s Brief on the Merits in the case involving Relator Steven C. Phillips, with the current deadline set for May 11, 2015. The requested extension would push the deadline to May 26, 2015, after Memorial Day. The motion articulates that the extension is necessary due to unexpected absences of lead counsel and the departure of co-counsel, which required a substitution. The Comptroller, who has not previously requested any extensions, emphasizes that the motion is not intended to cause delays but aims to ensure that the Court is fully informed on the issues at hand. The motion cites Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 55.7 as the basis for the Court's authority to grant the extension. Counsel for Relator Phillips, Matthew Wymer, has confirmed that there is no opposition to this motion. The document concludes with a prayer for the Court to grant the requested 15-day extension. The motion was signed and filed by Lesli Gattis Ginn, Deputy Division Chief for the Texas Attorney General’s office, and includes a certificate of conference and service to relevant parties.
