The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dr. Xiaochen Bai, and Dr. Xuewu Zhang, Appellees. ______________________________________________ Appeal from 101st Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas Honorable Staci Williams, Presiding Judge ______________________________________________ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF OF APPELLEES ______________________________________________ To the Honorable Court of Appeals: Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dr. Xiaochen Bai, and Dr. Xuewu Zhang (“Appellees”) file this Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Brief of Appellees, and respectfully shows the Court as follows:

43509781v.1 1. The Brief of Appellants was filed on January 21, 2025. The Brief of Appellees is thus currently due on February 10, 2025. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(b).

For the following reasons, Appellees request a 14-day extension of time to file its brief, making the new due date February 24, 2025.

2. A reasoned justification for an extension of time exists. The undersigned counsel for Appellees has had and will have other commitments necessitating this extension, including: a. preparing for and presenting oral argument at an omnibus hearing on January 21, 2025, in In re Big Lots, Inc., et al., Case No. 24-11967, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware; and b. preparing for and presenting oral argument at a hearing on a plea to the jurisdiction on February 4, 2025, in Romero v. Texas Permanent School Fund Corp., Cause No. D-1-GN-24-009170, in the 98th Judicial District of Travis County, Texas.

These and other scheduling conflicts, as well as pre-planned travel from January 29- February 2, 2025, necessitate this request for an extension.

3. Appellees therefore request that the deadline for filing its Brief of Appellees be extended 14 days to February 24, 2025. This is Appellees’ first request for an extension of time for its Brief of Appellees and is not sought for the purpose of delay.

43509781v.1 4. Counsel for Appellants has advised that they do not oppose this requested extension.

For these reasons, Appellees The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dr. Xiaochen Bai, and Dr. Xuewu Zhang respectfully pray that the Court extend the time to file its Brief of Appellee to February 24, 2025.
