Appellee Smith Energy Company, representing itself and associated entities, filed an unopposed motion for an extension of time to submit its Appellee's Brief in the ongoing appeal (Case No. 07-15-00083-CV). The original deadline for the brief was October 9, 2015, and the motion seeks a 32-day extension, pushing the new deadline to November 10, 2015. 

The request is based on scheduling conflicts due to other legal obligations involving the counsel, including assisting Rice University with Open Records Requests and preparing for a trial set for October 5, 2015. The counsel indicated multiple imminent deadlines associated with these obligations that are unextendable. 

This is the first request for an extension from the Appellee. The motion is made in good faith, with no intent to delay the proceedings, and has the consent of the Appellants. The motion concludes with a request for the court to grant the extension and establish the new deadline. 

The document includes certificates of conference and service, confirming that all relevant parties were notified and consented to the motion. The motion is formally submitted by the legal team representing Smith Energy.
