UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND

Jervonne D. Newsome (Lead Counsel) William M. Logan Texas Bar No. 24094869 Texas Bar No. 24106214 jnewsome@winston.com wlogan@winston.com Thanh D. Nguyen Evan D. Lewis Texas Bar No. 24126931 Texas Bar No. 24116670 tdnguyen@winston.com edlewis@winston.com Jonathan Hung Olivia A.

Pearl St., 9th Floor 800 Capitol Street, Suite 2400 Dallas, TX 75201 Houston, TX 77002 Telephone: (214) 453-6500 Telephone: (713) 651-2600

1 The Nonparty Patients seek to extend their deadline to file a response by

14 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.

2 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.

April 11, 2025 Respectfully Submitted,
