     APPELLANT’S MOTION TO INCORPORATE REPORTER’S RECORD
          FROM PREVIOUS APPEAL BETWEEN SAME PARTIES

      TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

      COMES NOW, SCOTT P. OGLE (“Mr. Ogle” or “Appellant”), Appellant in

the above styled and number cause, and files this Motion to Incorporate Reporter’s

Record From Previous Appeal Between Same Parties, and would respectfully show

unto this Court the following:

                                           I.

1)    On July 21, 2015, Appellant filed his notice of appeal from trial court cause
      number C-1-CV-14-011792;

2)    The cause number assigned to that appeal in this court was 03-15-00455-CV,

3)    Cause number 03-15-00455-CV was styled Scott P. Ogle v. Maeli Hector, a/k/a
      Maeli Arellano, a/k/a Maeli Johnson;

From Previous Appeal Between Same Parties                                 Page 1 of 4
4)    On September 23, 2015, the Reporter’s Record was filed in cause number 03-
      15-00455-CV;

5)    This Court issued a briefing schedule and the parties fully briefed the issues
      in the case;

6)    On July 21, 2016, this Court dismissed cause number 03-15-00455-CV due to
      lack of jurisdiction, on the grounds that there were other defendants to the
      underlying suit whose claims against had not been disposed of, rendering the
      order appealed from to be merely interlocutory;

7)    On October 20, 2016, Appellant non-suited those other parties; and

8)    On October 21, 2016, Appellant filed his notice on appeal from that very same
      trial court cause number, C-1-CV-14-011792, which gave rise to the above-
      styled appellate cause number.

                                         I.

      There have been no other proceedings in the trial court between the parties

to this appeal since the original reporter’s record was compiled and filed on

September 23, 2015, in cause number 03-15-00455-CV. The identical issues, claims

and defenses are prevalent in this appeal as they were in the prior identical appeal

between the identical parties. Thus, to order and compile the very same proceedings

into a new reporter’s record–which would differ only in having a different cause

number and date typed on its cover–would be an unwarranted waste of scarce

judicial and staff resources; would be unnecessarily duplicative; and would

needlessly increase the costs of this litigation. Further, the parties are already in

Appellant’s Motion to Incorporate Reporter’s Record
From Previous Appeal Between Same Parties                                 Page 2 of 4
possession of the record from the prior identical appeal, thus serving to expedite the

briefing in the instant appeal.

                                      PRAYER

      PREMISES CONSIDERED, APPELLANT SCOTT P. OGLE prays that this

Court grant this Motion to Incorporate Reporter’s Record From Previous Appeal

Between Same Parties. Appellant further prays for any other relief to which he may

show himself justly entitled.

                                       Respectfully submitted,

                        CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE

       I hereby certify that a conference was not held with counsel for the defendant
after a reasonable attempt to confer, as counsel for the defendant was unable to be
reached in the time necessary for the filing of this provisional motion. Therefore, it
is presumed that counsel for the defendant is opposed to the granting of the relief
requested in this motion.
