                   APPELLANT’S FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                       TO FILE APPELLANT’S REPLY BRIEF


       Appellant, Vicky McKenna, files this Motion under Rule 10.5(b), TEX. R. APP. P., and

asks this Court for an extension of time in which to file Appellant’s Reply Brief. In support of

this motion, Appellant would show the Court as follows.

       1.      This is Appellant’s first request for an extension to file her Reply Brief.

       2.      This motion is unopposed by Baylor College of Medicine.

       3.      Appellant requests until October 29, 2015 an extension of fourteen (14) days in

which to file her Reply Brief. The present deadline for filing is October 14, 2015.

       4.      Appellant’s counsel, a solo practitioner, has insufficient time to prepare and file

the Reply Brief due to a number of depositions and hearings and an arbitration.

       5.      Appellant submits that Appellee is not prejudiced by this delay.

       6.      This request is not made for delay only, but in order that justice may be done.

       WHEREFORE, Appellant, Vicky McKenna, requests the Court extend the time for

Appellant to file until October 29, 2015.
