PRINE June 16, 2015 Clerk 000550-0021 000550-0026 Via Electronic Service Clerk, First Court of Appeals 301 Fannin Houston, Texas 77002 Re: Cause No.: 01-12-00906-CV; John Moore Services, Inc. and John Moore Renovation, LLC v. The Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Houston, Inc. and Cause No.: 01-14-00687-CV; The Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Houston Education Foundation, et al. v. John Moore Services, Inc., et al. Dear Mr. Prine: On April 1, 2015, the Court entered an order referring the above-referenced cases to mediation. The mediation is presently scheduled for June 29, 2015. In the court’s order, it also tentatively set the 01-14-00906-CV case for oral argument on June 30, 2015 should oral argument be granted. Given the proximity of the tentative setting, can you please advise whether the Court intends for the parties to present oral argument on that date if the parties are unable to settle their dispute at mediation? Should the Court decide that oral argument would be appropriate at a later date, I would like to advise the Court that I will be out of the country on a family vacation from July 25th through August 9, 2015. It would be greatly appreciated if any potential argument setting did not fall within that two week time frame. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. Very truly yours, /s/ Lauren B. Harris Lauren B. Harris LBH/cld The Honorable Christopher A. Prine June 16, 2015 Page 2 cc: Douglas Pritchett (Via electronic service) Jeffrey R. Elkin [Firm] 4982708v1
