On appeal from the 155th Judicial District Court Fayette County, Texas, Hon. Jeff R. Steinhauser, Judge Presiding __________________________________________________________________
APPELLEE/CROSS-APPELLANT JOHN H. YOUNG, INC.’S MOTION TO FILE CONSOLIDATED BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellee/Cross-Appellant John H. Young, Inc. (“JHYI”) files this
[Un]opposed Motion to File Consolidated Brief, and in support thereof,
respectfully shows as follows.
1. The Final Judgment in this case was signed on December 29, 2015.
On March 24, 2016, United States Steel Corporation (“US Steel”) filed its Notice
of Appeal in the trial court. On March 30, 2016, JHYI filed its Notice of Cross-
Appeal in the trial court.
2. The Clerk’s Record was filed on May 17, 2016, and the Reporter’s
Record was filed on May 20, 2016. US Steel’s Appellant’s Brief and JHYI’s
Cross-Appellant’s Brief are presently due on June 20, 2016.
3. In the interests of judicial economy and efficiency, JHYI requests that
it be permitted to brief the issues in its cross-appeal in conjunction with its
Appellee’s Brief. The deadline for JHYI’s consolidated brief would be 30 days
after US Steel’s Appellant’s Brief is filed. JHYI’s Cross-Appellant’s Reply Brief
would be due 20 days after US Steel filed its Cross-Appellee’s Brief.
4. Nothing herein is intended to be a waiver of either party’s right to
seek an extension of time in which to file their briefs, as may be necessary and
permitted.
5. This motion is not sought for delay, but in the interest of justice and to
ensure that JHYI’s combined brief sufficiently aids the Court in its decisional
process, without unnecessarily burdening the Court with duplicative briefing.
Permitting JHYI to file a consolidated brief will reduce the number of briefs JHYI
files in this appeal from three to two.
CONCLUSION AND PRAYER
For all of the foregoing reasons, Appellee/Cross-Appellant John H. Young,
Inc. respectfully prays that the Court grant JHYI’s Motion to File Consolidated
Brief, and permit JHYI to file a consolidated brief in accordance with the schedule
set forth herein.
Respectfully submitted,
ZABEL FREEMAN
