   APPELLANTS’ AGREED MOTION TO RESET ORAL ARGUMENT

      Appellants ask the Court to reset oral argument.

                               A. INTRODUCTION

      1. Appellants are Thomas Allen Powell d/b/a Architecture Unlimited and J.

Keith Webb; Appellees are Penhollow, Inc., John O. Penhollow, and Yvonne L.

Penhollow.

      2. This appeal is set for oral argument on February 4, 2015 at 3:00 p.m.

      3. Appellees agree and are unopposed to the relief sought in this motion.

                      B.    ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

      4. The Court has authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(c)

to reset oral argument.

      5. Appellants ask the Court to reset oral argument in this case because

attorney and party J. Keith Webb cannot attend oral argument on the date presently

scheduled for argument.
        6. Mr. Webb’s mother-in-law, Judith Seba, passed away on January 31,

2015.     A memorial service is planned for Wednesday, February 4, 2015.

Consequently, Mr. Webb will be unavailable to attend oral argument on that date.

        7. Appellant’s attorney is a shareholder of The Miller Law Firm. No other

attorney in the firm is able to argue this case because no other attorney is familiar

with the facts of the case or issues on appeal.

        8. Oral argument is necessary for the proper presentation of this case

because it will facilitate the Court’s understanding of the underlying factual

scenario and multitude of legal issues raised on appeal.

        9. No motion to reset oral argument has been sought or granted in this case.

        10.Appellant’s counsel has pre-planned events that will require him to be

out of town on March 4 & 5, March 24 – 30, and May 14 & 15, 2015 and would

preclude him from attending oral argument on those dates.

                                 C. CONCLUSION

        11. Appellants respectfully request oral argument be reset to a later date to

allow Appellant’s counsel to attend and present argument.

                                    D.     PRAYER

        12. For these reasons, Appellants ask the Court to grant this motion and to

reschedule the oral argument in this case to a later date and time.
