Opinion

Order entered February 9, 2023

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-22-00158-CV 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).
