TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF THE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

        COMES NOW, Appellee Ann Czarnik, and files this her Motion to Extend Time to File

Brief pursuant to Tex. R. App. Proc. 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), and would respectfully show the Court:

        1. Appellant is Margaret Reid; Appellees are Seton Hospital, Micheal Breen, and Ann

Czarnik.

        2. Counsel for Appellant Reid and counsel for Appellees Seton Hospital and Micheal

Breen are all unopposed to this motion as evidenced in the certificate of conference below.

        3. Appellee Czarnik’s response brief on the merits is due to be filed with this Court on

September 15, 2016.

        4. Appellees seek a 10-day extension of time to file Appellee’s brief, to September 25,

2016.

        5. This is Appellee’s first request to extend time for filing her response brief.
        6. Due to unexpected events lead counsel for Appellee has become unavailable during the

time the brief is to be filed.

        7. Counsel for Appellee seeks this extension of time to be able to prepare a cogent and

succinct brief to aid this Court in its analysis of the issues presented. This request is not sought

for delay but so that justice may be done.

        8. All facts recited in this motion are within the personal knowledge of the counsel

signing this motion, therefore no verification is necessary under Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 10.2.

                                      PRAYER FOR RELIEF

        For the reasons set forth above, Appellee requests that this Court grant this First Motion

to Extend Time to File Appellee’s Brief and extend the deadline for filing the Appellee’s Brief

up to and including September 25, 2016.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                               ____________________________________
