Re: Trial Court Docket Number: 1063034
Court of Appeals Case Number: 01-15-01064-CV
Case Name: Glenn H. Johnson v. Harris County, Et Al.
Dear Clerks:
I am writing because there is a discrepancy between the County Clerk’s December 15,
2015 Letter of Assignment1, and the Court of Appeal’s December 16, 2015 Information letter.
Although the Letter of Assignment refers to Mr. Johnson’s December 15, 2015 Notice of Appeal
(p. 1), the Notice of Appeal that is attached is Mr. Johnson’s December 12, 2015 Notice of Appeal
(pp. 2-4). This is significant because Mr. Johnson’s December 12, 2015 Notice of Appeal relates
to the Trial Court’s November 25, 2015 Order Granting Harris County Appraisal District’s Plea to
the Jurisdiction or Motion for Summary Judgment (Id.), but Mr. Johnson’s December 15, 2015
Notice of Appeal relates to the Trial Court’s December 9, 2015 Order Granting the Harris County
Defendants’2 Plea to the Jurisdiction and First Amended Motion for Summary Judgment (p. 7).
Accordingly, the Harris County Defendants request clarification as to which Order (if not both) is
the subject of Case Number 01-15-01064-CV.

The Court of Appeal’s file-stamped copy is attached hereto as Attachment A.
2
The Harris County Appraisal District is a separate defendant from the Harris County Defendants.

Additionally, please note that Mr. Johnson has three (3) related appeals currently pending
before the First Court of Appeals: No. 01-14-00383-CV, No. 01-15-00950-CV and No. 01-15-
01003-CV.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Nick Nicholas
