Re: No. 03-14-00774-CV; Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners and
Nicole Oria, in her Official Capacity as Executive Director v. Ellen Jefferson, D.V.M.
Dear Mr. Kyle:
On Monday, August 10, 2015, the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners
(“TBVME”) and Nicole Oria, in her Official Capacity as Executive Director, filed a motion to abate
Dr. Ellen Jefferson’s appeal in this matter. In the alternative, the TBVME and Oria moved for
additional time to file their Appellees’ brief.
On Friday, August 14, 2015, the TBVME and Oria withdrew their motion to abate and filed
a “substitute” motion merely requesting additional time to file their appellate brief. This letter is to
inform the Court that Dr. Jefferson no longer intends to file a response to the TBVME’s now-
withdrawn motion to abate, and does not oppose the TBVME’s request for additional time to file
their brief.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Ryan Clinton Ryan Clinton
Counsel to Dr. Ellen Jefferson, DVM RDC:jm
