                APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED MOTION
             FOR EXTENSION OF BRIEFING DEADLINE
   _____________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellees, the Texas Medical Board, and Mari Robinson, JD, in her Official

Capacity; respectfully move this Court for an extension of the deadline for filing

their brief in response to Appellant’s amended brief in the captioned appeal. In

support, Appellees would show the Court as follows:

      1.     Appellees’ response to Appellant’s amended brief is currently due on

March 30, 2015. No previous extensions have been requested or granted.

      2.     Appellees request an extension of time to April 7, 2015 in which to

file their responsive brief.
      3.     The undersigned counsel for Appellees had several conflicts during

the weeks of March 16 and 23, including emergency hearings and other matters.

In addition, the Office of the Attorney General is closed on Friday, April 3.

      4.     This Motion is not interposed for the purpose of delay, but only for

the purpose of allowing counsel to adequately prepare and file Appellees’

responsive brief and fully address the issues raised therein.

      5.     Appellant pro se has advised that he does not oppose the requested

extension.

      Appellees therefore respectfully request an extension of time to, and

including, April 7, 2015, in which to file and serve their brief in the captioned

appeal.

Dated:       March 27, 2015.
