                        ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANTS
     Appellants SBI Investments, LLC, 2014-1 and L2 Capital LLC

respectfully move the Court to consolidate this Case with Related Case

03-17-00749-CV for all purposes. This motion is not opposed by Appellee

Quantum Materials Corp.

     The two cases involve the Order Granting Temporary Injunction,

dated October 26, 2017, C.R.19, and the Corrected Order Granting

Temporary Injunction, dated November 27, 2017.           C.R.38-39.   The

District Court entered the Order Granting Temporary Injunction, but

inadvertently included a trial date for April 2017, rather than April 2018.

C.R.19. Appellee filed a Motion to Correct Clerical Error, which was

unopposed by Appellants, to correct the trial date in the order to April

2018. C.R.35-37. The Corrected Order Granting Temporary Injunction

was entered on November 26, 2017, with the April 2018 trial date. 1 The

Corrected Order Granting Temporary Injunction has no other differences

from the Order Granting Temporary Injunction. It is substantively the

same order.
     Appellants filed their opening brief on the merits appealing the

Order Granting Temporary Injunction on December 11, 2017, after filing

their notice of appeal in November 2017. Appellants filed a notice of

appeal for the Corrected Order Granting Temporary Injunction on

1 In response to the Notice of Appeal in Related Case 03-17-00863-CV,
the clerk from the District Court is submitting a supplemental record
with the executed order correcting the trial date.
December 14, 2017.

     Appellants now seek to consolidate Case No. 03-17-00749-CV with

Related Case 03-17-00863-CV, since the issues of both cases are identical

and they involve the same order that needed a clerical correction. See,

e.g., Clawson v. Wharton County, 941 S.W.2d 267, 269 (Tex. App.—

Corpus Christi 1996, writ denied) (where both cases addressed the same

legal issue and both appellants asserted same points of error, appeals

were consolidated); Bailey v. Brodhead, 838 S.W.2d 922, 923 (Tex. App.—

Austin 1992, no writ) (where two unrelated cases presented the same

issue, appeals were consolidated).

     Therefore,   Appellants   respectfully   request   that   the   Court

consolidate the two appeals, which would not require a new briefing

schedule.
Respectfully submitted,
