ORDER Before the Court is appellees’ January 3, 2014 unopposed motion to substitute as counsel

Jessica Amunson, a Washington, D.C. attorney who states her pro hac vice application “is

pending,” for Katherine Fallow, a Washington, D.C. attorney who was admitted pro hac vice and

allowed to appear on behalf of appellees at trial. Because our records do not reflect Katherine

Fallow has been admitted pro hac vice and allowed to appear as counsel for appellees in this

motion. See TEX. R. GOVERNING BAR ADMISSION XIX; see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §
