Broadaway State Bar No. 24088322 samia.broadaway@bakerbotts.com ATTORNEYS FOR PATRICIA MOSLEY September 8, 2016 TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS: Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6, Appellant/Cross-Appellee Patricia Mosley respectfully submits this unopposed motion for an extension of time to file Cross-Appellee’s response brief, seeking an extension of 30 days, through and until October 14, 2016. Currently, Cross-Appellee Patricia Mosley’s response brief is due on or before September 14, 2016. Appellant respectfully requests an extension of 30 days, through and until October 14, 2016, to file her response brief. This is Cross- Appellee’s first request for an extension of time to file her response brief. Appellees/Cross-Appellants Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Family and Protective Services do not oppose the extension. Cross-Appellee Patricia Mosley requests an extension not for purposes of delay, but because Cross-Appellee’s counsel have a number of professional obligations in pending matters that impair their ability to prepare a brief by the current September 14, 2016, deadline. Kevin Vickers’s professional commitments include: (1) providing counsel on a complex regulatory compliance matter involving administrative enforcement by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; (2) providing counsel regarding pending National Environmental Policy Act environmental review; (3) providing counsel regarding claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act; and 1 (4) preparing for proceedings in Texans Against High Speed Rail, Inc. v. Ken Paxton and Texas Department of Transportation, Cause No. D-1-GN-16-000942, 126th Judicial District, Travis County, Texas. Paulina Williams’ professional obligations include: (1) providing counsel on multiple compliance and permitting related filings with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; and (2) providing counsel in multiple time-sensitive transactions. Samia Rogers Broadaway’s professional obligations include: (1) preparing for litigation related to Clean Air Act matters; and (2) providing counsel regarding compliance with Clean Water Act requirements. For these reasons, Cross-Appellee respectfully requests that the Court grant her an extension of 30 days, through and until October 14, 2016, to file her response brief. Cross-Appellee requests such further relief to which she may be justly entitled. 2 Respectfully submitted, BAKER BOTTS L.L.P. /s/ Kevin E. Vickers Kevin E.
