Hira Azhar v. Mohammed Ali Choudhri
312th District Court of Harris County Trial court number: 2015-36895
ORDER
Amparo Guerra Judge
Appellee, Ali Choudhri, acting pro se, filed a motion for extension of time to file his appellee's brief. After extensions granted by this Court, appellant, Hira Azhar filed her appellant's brief on July 21, 2021. Accordingly, Choudhri's brief was due to be filed on or before August 20, 2021. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(b).
In his motion for extension of time, Choudhri requests a sixty-day extension to file his appellee's brief. Choudhri's motion represents to the Court that the extension is necessary because he "needs additional time to find counsel as he did not believe [Azhar] was actually filing a brief and continuing with the appeal until very recently." Choudhri's motion includes a certificate of conference representing that appellant is not opposed to the requested extension of time to file an appellee's brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a).
Choudhri's motion for extension of time to file an appellee's brief is granted. Choudhri's deadline to file his appellee's brief is extended by a period of sixty-days and must be filed on or before October 19, 2021.
It is so ORDERED.
