Real Parties in Interest, led by Maria Santos Lopez Dominguez and others representing various estates, filed an Unopposed First Motion to Extend Time to Respond to the Petition for Writ of Mandamus. The Relators include several law firms and attorneys, specifically Arnold Itkin, L.L.P. and others. The current deadline for filing the response is January 4, 2016, and the Real Parties request a 30-day extension, moving the deadline to February 3, 2016. The motion states there is no specific deadline for filing, and both parties have conferred, leading to no opposition from Relators. The request cites Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.05(b) as the basis for the extension, emphasizing good cause due to the response period coinciding with three national holidays—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day—during which counsel will be on vacation and unable to adequately prepare the response. Additionally, the counsel for Real Parties are engaged in other appellate matters, further necessitating the extension. No previous extensions have been requested or granted in this case. A motion is filed for a thirty-day extension to respond to a Petition for Writ of Mandamus in the Texas Supreme Court. The extension is requested due to multiple deadlines for petitions and briefs in various cases, specifically Cause No. 14-15-00101-CV involving Cedillo et al. v. Immobiliere Jeuness, due December 17, 2015; Cause No. 14-14-00731-CV involving Pressil v. Gibson, due December 23, 2015; and Cause No. 14-15-00602-CV involving Nawracaj v. Genesys, due January 5, 2016. The motion emphasizes that the extension is not sought for delay but to ensure justice and adequate preparation time, particularly around the holiday season. It notes no prejudice or harm to the Relators if the extension is granted. The Real Parties in Interest request the deadline for their response be moved to February 3, 2016. The motion is filed by attorneys from The Kassab Law Firm and Doherty Wagner, and it includes a certificate of compliance confirming the document meets word count requirements. On December 15, 2015, the undersigned certified that a motion was served electronically to several parties as required by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The recipients included attorneys from Yetter Coleman LLP and Reynolds Frizzell LLP, representing Relators, as well as counsel from Beck Redden LLP, Arnold & Itkin L.L.P., and Albritton Law Firm, also representing Relators. The document lists the names, Texas State Bar numbers, email addresses, and contact information for each attorney involved, along with their respective law firms. The motion pertains to an unopposed request to extend the time to file a response to a petition for a writ of mandamus.
