                                        JUDGMENT

       The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes there was error in the

trial court’s order denying Appellant’s motion to dismiss. We therefore reverse the trial court’s

order denying Appellant’s motion to dismiss and remand for the trial court to consider granting

Appellees a thirty-day extension to cure their expert reports, in accordance with our opinion.

       We further order that each party bear their own appellate costs, for which let execution

issue. This decision shall be certified below for observance.

       IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 18TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2015.

                                              STEVEN L. HUGHES, Justice
