LYNNE DUGGAN, Appellant v. TANGLEWOOD VILLA OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC., AND TOM MADDOCK, PRESIDENT, Appellees
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Grayson County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2015-1-091CV
ORDER
The Court has before it appellant Lynne Duggan's April 18, 2017 third motion to extend time to file a reply brief.
Appellant's reply brief was originally due to be filed by February 15, 2017. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(c). On February 15, 2017, appellant filed her first motion for extension of time to file a reply brief. On February 17, 2017, we granted the first motion for extension of time to file a reply brief and extended the deadline for filing a reply brief to March 17, 2017. On March 20, 2017, appellant filed her second motion for extension of time to file a reply brief. Attached to appellant's March 20, 2017 second motion for extension of time to file a reply brief was a letter from her doctor stating appellant "is not currently capable of handling or answering a brief and reply form." On March 20, 2017, we granted appellant's second motion for extension of time to file a reply brief and extended the deadline for filing a reply brief to April 17, 2017. In our March 20, 2017 order, we indicated that no further extension of time to file a reply brief would be entertained. On April 18, 2017, appellant filed her third motion for extension of time to file a reply brief. Appellant attached an April 17, 2017 letter from her doctor indicating appellant "is not capable of retaining/comprehending any court or clerical paper work."
In light of the exigent circumstance as indicated by appellant's doctor in the April 17, 2017 letter attached to appellant's third motion for extension of time to file a reply brief, we GRANT appellant's third motion for extension of time to file her reply brief. Any reply brief is due to be filed no later than May 22, 2017. Be advised that no further extension of time to file a reply brief will be entertained or granted in this appeal. This appeal is set for submission without oral argument on June 6, 2017. If a reply brief is not filed by May 22, 2017, the appeal will be submitted on appellant's January 4, 2017 brief and appellee's January 26, 2017 response brief only.
