SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE BRIEF Appellant asks the Court to extend the time to file Appellant’s Brief to next Wednesday, September 9, 2015.

3. The appellees are not opposed to this motion.

5. The deadline to file the Brief is September 4, 2015.

6. Appellant requests an additional 5 days to file its Brief, extending the time up to and through September 9, 2015.

7. Appellant requests this extension due to a misunderstanding with the District Court. When the Appellant originally requested the Clerk’s Record and Reporter’s Record be filed with this Court of Appeals, Appellant was informed no Reporter’s Record existed. Until September 2, 2015, it was believed there was no Reporter’s Record to be filed with the Third Court of Appeals. Upon further investigation, the Court Reporter, Dora Canizales, corrected that misunderstanding and graciously has agreed to submit the Reporter’s Record on the Hearing of the Merits that was held on January 8, 2015 as quickly as possible for attorneys of both parties to be able to utilize. That record is expected to be received within the week. Appellant requests a five day extension of time to permit Appellant to review the Reporter’s Record and include proper citations to the record in the Appellant’s brief.

8. One previous extension has been requested and granted to extend the time to file Appellant’s Brief.

Appellant Shamrock Psychiatric, P.A.’s 2nd Motion to Extend Time to File Brief file Brief up to and through next Wednesday, September 9, 2015.

Respectfully Submitted,
