The Nonparty Patients seek to extend their deadline to file a response by days. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b). The Nonparty Patients’ response brief is currently due on April 18, 2025. This extension, if granted, would extend the deadline to May 2, 2025. This is the first extension sought. Relator does not oppose this request.
This extension is not sought for delay, but rather to afford the Nonparty Patients’ counsel adequate time to research, write, and file a brief that will be helpful to the Court. This mandamus action arises out of multiple active litigations in Collin County, Dallas County, and this Court. See, e.g., Nos. 493-07676-2024, 493-08026- 2024 (493rd Jud. Dist. Ct. of Collin County); Nos. DC-25-01823, DC-25-02658 (95th Jud. Dist. Ct. of Dallas County); Nos. 15-25-00023-CV, 15-25-00031-CV 15- 25-00032-CV (Tex. App.—Austin [15th Dist.]). Counsel for the Nonparty Patients has filed and responded to various motions in all three of these courts and has participated in numerous in-person hearings. Considering the significant time and resources needed to address these issues, and the importance of this mandamus petition, counsel for the Nonparty Patients is unlikely to have adequate time to devote to its response brief by the current deadline of April 18, 2025. A 14-day extension will allow the Nonparty Patients to prepare a brief that better clarifies the issues before this Court.
Relator does not oppose this extension request.
PRAYER For these reasons, the Nonparty Patients respectfully request that this Court grant a 14-day extension of time to file a response, creating a new deadline of May 2, 2025.
