  UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Memorial Hermann Health System d/b/a TIRR Memorial

Hermann and files this Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Appellee’s

Brief. In support of this Motion, Appellee shows unto this Court the following:

                                        A.

                                INTRODUCTION

      1.    This is an interlocutory appeal brought by Appellant pursuant to the

Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Section 51.014(a)(9), which allows an
interlocutory appeal from an order denying a motion to dismiss under Texas Civil

Practice & Remedies Code Section 74.351 (b). The Appellant is Rosalinda Reyes

and the Appellee is Memorial Hermann Health System d/b/a Memorial Hermann

TIRR.

                                         B.

                         ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

        2.   No rule limits the time within which to file this Motion to Extend.

Tex. R. App. P. 38.6.

        3.   The Court may extend time to file Appellee’s Brief under the

authority of Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).

        4.   Appellee’s Brief is due on or about February 16, 2015.

        5.   Appellee requests an additional thirty (30) days from the current due

date in which to file its brief, extending the time to March 16, 2015.

        6.   Appellee has previously requested two extensions to file its brief.

        7.   An extension of time to file Appellee’s Brief would allow Appellee to

prepare its brief with the thoughtful consideration and deliberation that this

important matter requires.
                                      PRAYER

      8.     For these reasons, Appellee asks the Court to grant an extension of

time to file its Brief to March 16, 2015.

                                        Respectfully submitted,

                                        LUCCIA & EVANS, L.L.P.
