order Order on Motion for Extension of Time to File Thu 03/26 9:49 AM
Text Order MOOTING26 Motion to Extend Time to File Brief entered by Judge Robert Pitman. Respondent filed her brief on March 25, 2020, (Dkt. 30), the date she requested as the new deadline in this motion, (Dkt. 26 at 1). The time allotted to Petitioner to respond to Respondent's motion for extension of time had not yet elapsed. See W.D. Tex. Loc. R. CV-7(e)(2). Though Respondent did not respond to the Court's Orders to file a proposed order and definitively indicate whether her motion was agreed, (Dkt. 27, 29), the fact that she has now filed a brief effectively resolves the issue. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Respondent's Motion to Extend Time to File Brief, (Dkt. 26), is MOOT. However, Respondent's counsel is advised to promptly comply with the Court's orders in the future. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.)
