In re Olivia Reyner
Trial court: County Civil Court at Law No. 4 of Harris County, Trial court case number: 1189049
ORDER
Amparo Guerra, Judge.
On July 19, 2023, relator, Olivia Reyner, proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ of mandamus asserting that the trial court abused its discretion "by issuing constitutionally insufficient notice of proceedings to the parties in the underlying case, while simultaneously intending to unfairly dismiss the underlying case for want of prosecution," by "failing to comply with mandatory and non-discretionary provisions of" Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 21(b), and by "failing to timely rule on multiple properly filed pre-trial [m]otions that [were] pending before" the trial court." On August 8, 2023, the Court denied relator's petition for writ of mandamus. Accordingly, any motion for rehearing was due no later than August 23, 2023. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.9 ("Any party may file a motion for rehearing within 15 days after the final order is rendered.").
On August 23, 2023, relator filed a "Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion for Rehearing," requesting that the deadline to file a motion for rehearing be extended thirty days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.8 ("A court of appeals may extend the time for filing a motion for rehearing . . . if a party files a motion complying with Rule 10.5(b) no later than 15 days after the last date for filing the motion."). Relator states that the extension is necessary "so that she can review the mandamus record, and conduct necessary legal research, so as to fully and properly present her arguments to the Court."
Relator's motion to extend the deadline for filing a motion for rehearing is granted in part. The deadline for filing a motion for rehearing is extended to September 7, 2023.
It is so ORDERED.
