COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
                           FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

                                            ORDER

Appellate case name:         Winnie Stacey Al Wazzan v. Isa Ali Al Wazzan and
                             International Agencies Co., Ltd.
Appellate case number:       01-22-00316-CV
Trial court case number:     2017-24671
Trial court:                 246th District Court of Harris County
       Appellant, Winnie Stacey Al Wazzan, has appealed the trial court’s March 12, 2022
“Order Granting Bill of Review.” Appellant filed her appellant’s brief on September 28,
2022, making appellees’ brief(s) due no later than October 28, 2022. See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.6(b).
        On October 28, 2022, appellees, International Agencies Co., Ltd. and Isa Ali Al
Wazzan, separately, filed motions to extend the deadline to file their respective appellees’
briefs. The Court granted the motions, extending appellees’ deadline to file their appellees’
briefs to December 27, 2022. On December 27, 2022, International Agencies Co., Ltd.
filed a second motion to extend the deadline to file its brief. On December 28, 2022, Isa
Ali Al Wazzan similarly filed a second motion to extend the deadline for filing an
appellee’s brief. Again, the Court granted the motions, extending appellees’ deadline for
filing their respective appellees’ briefs as January 27, 2023. The Court also notified
appellees that no further extensions would be granted.
       Despite the Court’s notice that no further extensions would be granted, on January
27, 2023, appellees each filed a third motion to extend the deadline for filing an appellee’s
brief. Appellees requested an additional fourteen days to file their respective briefs,
extending the deadline for filing an appellee’s brief to February 10, 2023.
      Appellees’ third motions to extend the deadline for filing their respective briefs are
denied. Appellees’ briefs are due to be filed no later than ten days of the date of this
order. In the event either appellee fails to file an appellee’s brief by the extended deadline,
the Court may set the appeal for submission and consideration without an appellee’s brief.
      It is so ORDERED.
