RE: Craig Castellanos v. Kroger Texas, L.P.; Cause No. DC-22-06133; in the 193rd

Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas.

Dear Mr. Aube: 

The purpose of this correspondence is to request that Plaintiff stipulate that he is not 

seeking, and will not amend to seek in the future, damages in excess of $75,000.00, exclusive 

of interest and costs. Furthermore, in the event a jury awards more than $75,000.00 in 

damages, Plaintiff agrees to a remititur that establishes the total damages awarded to Plaintiff 

at $75,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs. 

To the extent that Plaintiff’s Original Petition specifically states that “Plaintiff seeks 

monetary relief over $250,000.00 but not more than $1,000,000.00, including damages of any 

kind, penalties, costs, expenses, pre-judgment interest and attorney’s fees”, this Rule 11 

Agreement constitutes a stipulation reflecting the actual amount in controversy and modifies

the jurisdictional allegations set forth in Plaintiff’s Original Petition.

If Plaintiff agrees to the stipulation above, please execute this Rule 11 agreement 

below, and return same to me, no later than September 30, 2022. If we do not receive the 

executed stipulation by September 30, 2022, we will assume for removal purposes, that 

Plaintiff seeks recovery in excess of $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs.

We look forward to your response.

Very truly yours,

 

 /s/ Chris M. Blanton

KROGER TEXAS, L.P., §

Defendant. § DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS

______________________________________________________________________________

DEFENDANT'S ORIGINAL ANSWER

COMES NOW Defendant Kroger Texas L.P. (hereafter “Defendant”), filing its Original 

Answer, and, in support thereof, would respectfully show the Court as follows:

I.

GENERAL DENIAL

1. Defendant denies each and every material allegation contained in Plaintiff’s 

Original Petition, demands strict proof thereof, and to the extent that such matters are questions 

of fact, says Plaintiff should prove such facts by a preponderance of the evidence to a jury if he 

can so do.

II.

DEFENSES

2. Defendant specifically denies Plaintiff’s allegations that it was negligent in any 

respect, and Defendant denies that its alleged acts or omissions proximately caused Plaintiff’s 

alleged damages.

3. Defendant claims that Plaintiff failed to use that degree of care and caution as 

would have been used by a reasonable person under the same or similar circumstances, thereby 

producing or proximately causing Plaintiff’s alleged damages, if any. Such acts or omissions of 

Plaintiff were the sole proximate cause of Plaintiff’s alleged damages, if any, as Plaintiff should

have kept a proper lookout for her own safety and avoided the alleged unreasonably dangerous 

condition.

4. To the extent applicable, Defendant may show that the acts or omissions of third 

persons not under the control of Defendant were the sole, producing, or proximate cause of 

Plaintiff's damages or injuries, if any.

5. Defendant asserts that it had neither actual nor constructive knowledge of the 

condition about which Plaintiff complains and that, in any event, the alleged hazard was not 

"unreasonably dangerous."

6. Defendant may further show that the damages of which Plaintiff complains, if any,

were the result of prior, pre-existing, or subsequent injuries, accidents or conditions, and said 

prior, pre-existing, or subsequent injuries, accidents, or conditions were the sole or a contributing 

cause of Plaintiff’s damages, if any.

7. Defendant may further show that Plaintiff breached his duty to mitigate damages 

by failing to exercise reasonable care and diligence to avoid loss and minimize the consequences 

of damages.

8. Defendant may further show that the accident complained of was an unavoidable 

accident as that term is known in law.

9. Defendant respectfully requests that the factfinder allocate responsibility, if any, 

among all parties, settling parties, and responsible third parties, in accordance with Chapters 32 

and 33 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.

Case 3:22-cv-02277-S Document 1-2 Filed 10/11/22 Page 21 of 39 PageID 27
DEFENDANT’S ORIGINAL ANSWER Page 3

10. Defendant further asserts that any claims for medical or health care expenses 

incurred are limited to the amount actually paid or incurred by or on behalf of Plaintiff pursuant 

to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 41.0105.

11. Defendant asserts that it is entitled to contribution, indemnity, and all available 

credits as provided for in the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code and under Texas law, in the 

unlikely event that an adverse judgment is rendered against it in this matter.

12. Defendant contends that, pursuant to § 18.091 of the Texas Civil Practice & 

Remedies Code, to the extent Plaintiff is seeking a recovery for loss of earnings, lost wages, loss 

of earning capacity and/or loss of contributions of pecuniary value, evidence of this alleged loss 

must be presented by Plaintiff in the form of a net loss after reduction for income tax payments, 

or unpaid tax liability to any federal income tax law.

III.

PRAYER

Defendant respectfully prays that Plaintiff take nothing by this cause of action, that 

Defendant be permitted to recover the costs expended on its behalf, and for such other and 

further relief to which Defendant may show itself justly entitled, in law or in equity.
