APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
Appellee Texas Health and Human Services Commission, files this
unopposed motion requesting an extension of its deadline to file its appellee
brief.
This appellate matter concerns an appeal from a final order granting a plea
to the jurisdiction. Appellee’s current deadline for filing its brief is May 15,
2025. Appellee requests a 14-day extension to file its brief, thus moving the
deadline to May 29, 2025. The undersigned counsel, who is charged with drafting
Appellee’s brief needs additional time to prepare it because, since returning from
medical absence, she has several high-profile cases with demanding deadlines.
This is Appellee’s first request for an extension of time, and it is not sought for
the purpose of delay.
Appellant is unopposed to the requested extension.
1 Prayer
For the above reasons, Appellee prays that the Court afford it until
May 29, 2025 to file its brief.
Respectfully submitted,
KEN PAXTON Attorney General of Texas
BRENT WEBSTER First Assistant Attorney General
RALPH MOLINA Deputy First Assistant Attorney General
