Appellants Rhonda and Bruce Carnley (“Appellants”) respectfully

request a 30-day extension of the deadline to file their opening brief in

the above-captioned matter. This is Appellants’ first request for an

extension of the deadline to file their brief. The Court’s current deadline
for Appellants to file their opening brief is January 16, 2026. If

Appellants’ request is granted, the brief will be due on February 16, 2026.

Appellants request this extension because Appellants’ lead counsel
has had and will continue to have significant time commitments related

to numerous other ongoing cases that make it impracticable to complete

the opening brief in this matter by the current deadline, including:

• Drafting an appellate brief in John Gower and Christine Mills v.
The River Mews Association, Inc., et al., No. 4D2025-2566 in the
Fourth District Court of Appeals for the State of Florida;

• Drafting an appellate brief in Daniel Khwaja v. 1545 W. North
Avenue, LLC, et al., No. 1-25-1995 in Appellate Court of Illinois
for the First District;

• Preparation for a jury trial and motions hearings in In re Estate
of Norberto Salinas, No. P-42,216 in the Probate Court of
Hidalgo County, Texas;

• Significant summary judgment briefing in Rachel and Mark
Schwartz v. Thomas Sebold & Associates, Inc., in Private
Arbitration before Kevin Hendricks; and

• Preparation of the appellants’ brief in Firmus Centro, LLC v.
ATX Self-Storage, LLC, No. 07-25-00408-CV in the Seventh
Court of Appeals, Amarillo, Texas.

Appellant’s counsel has conferred with counsel for Appellee Lost

River Homeowners’ Association, who advises that Appellee is not opposed

to Appellants’ request for an extension of time.

For the foregoing reasons, Appellants respectfully request a 30-day
extension of time to file their opening brief, extending the deadline up to

and including February 16, 2026.
Respectfully submitted,
