          KELLY M. LIEBBE AND JONATHAN RUTE, Appellants

                                        V.

 STEPHEN COURTNEY, M.D. AND STEPHEN COURTNEY, M.D., P.A.,
                        Appellees

               On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court
                            Collin County, Texas
                   Trial Court Cause No. 296-03470-2016

                                     ORDER

      Before the Court is appellant Kelly M. Liebbe’s February 3, 2023 unopposed

third motion for an extension of time to file her opening brief. In our January 25,

2023 order, we advised Ms. Liebbe that no further extension would be granted. In

light of the near year-long pendency of this appeal, such extensions are strongly

disfavored.   Due to the extenuating circumstances represented in the present

unopposed motion, we GRANT the requested short extension of time to February

22, 2023. We expressly caution Ms. Liebbe that failure to timely file a brief by
February 23 may result in the dismissal of her appeal for want of prosecution. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1).
