The Honorable Peter Sakai, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Appellant Shopoff Advisors, L.P. has filed a reply brief and certifies that the reply brief
“complies with the type-volume limitations of” the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure because
it “contains 8,500 words, excluding the parts of the [brief] exempted by Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 9.4(i)(1).” However, Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.4(i)(2)(C) provides that the
maximum length of a reply brief in an appellate court is “7,500 words if computer-generated.”
TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4(i)(2)(C). Thus, appellant has certified that its reply brief exceeds the
maximum length allowed.
If a document fails to conform with Rule 9.4, this Court “may strike the document or
identify the error and permit the party to resubmit the document in a conforming format by a
specified deadline.” TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4(k).
We, therefore, ORDER Appellant Shopoff Advisors, L.P. to file an amended reply brief
within fifteen days from the date of this order. If the amended brief does not correct the
violations, we will strike the reply brief and prohibit appellant from filing another. See id.
It is so ORDERED on October 31, 2018.
