ACCEPTED 04-14-00124-CV FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 2/25/2015 4:50:05 PM KEITH HOTTLE CLERK No. 04-14-00124-CV WESTFREIGHT SYSTEMS § IN THE COURT OFFILED APPEALS IN 4th COURT OF APPEALS INC., Appellant, § SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS § 02/25/2015 4:50:05 PM vs. § KEITH E. HOTTLE § Clerk JOHN MICHAEL HEUSTON, § FOURTH DISTRICT individually and as dependent § administrator of the ESTATE § OF JUANA GARZA, deceased, § and GERONIMO RODRIGUEZ, § Appellees. § SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS APPELLANT WESTFREIGHT’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SURREPLY Westfreight Systems Inc., the appellant, asks the Court for leave to file the surreply brief that Westfreight has submitted, via the e-filing system, contemporaneously with this motion. I. Good cause exists for granting leave. The surreply brief addresses contentions and authorities in Appellees’ reply brief, including some contentions and authorities mentioned or fully discussed for the first time in that brief. See also Surreply Brief, at 2-15 (surreply argument). Granting leave to file the surreply will help focus the matters in dispute in this appeal. Counsel for Westfreight has conferred with Counsel for Appellees and confirmed that the requested leave is not opposed. 1 II. Westfreight therefore asks that the Court grant leave to file the surreply brief and that the Court direct its Clerk to file the surreply brief in this case.
