                                   Appellee/ Cross Appellants

             From the 268th Judicial District Court of and for Fort Bend County, Texas
           Honorable Brady G. Elliott, Presiding; Trial Court Cause No. 09-DCV-175886

                                JOINT MOTION TO CLARIFY
                                   BREIFING SCHEDULE

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:
     Appellants/Cross Appellees, Michael Queen and Ian Magee and Appellees/Cross
Appellants RBG USA, Inc., submits this Joint Motion to Clarify Briefing Schedule, and in
support thereof would show the following:
      1. All parties timely filed notices of appeals in the case at bar.
      2. Pursuant to the briefing schedule, all parties timely filed their Briefs on June 8, 2015.
      3. Appellants/Cross Appellees, Queen and Magee's counsel mistakenly labeled their
         brief “Appellee's Brief” on the cover of their Brief.
      4. Based on the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, responsive Briefs are supposed to
         be due 30 days after the initial Brief(s) are filed. T.R.A.P Rule 38.6(b). However,
          based on Appellants/Cross Appellees mislabeling its Brief, the clerk issued a briefing
          schedule allowing only 20 days to file a responsive brief.
       5. Based on the Appellate Rules, the partied have agreed and humbly request this Court
          approve the following schedule:
                a. Responsive Briefs are due on July 8th (30 days after Appellants' Briefs were
                filed. T.R.A.P. Rule 38.6(b));
                b. Reply Briefs will be due on July 28th (20 days after Appellees' Brief will be
                filed. T.R.A.P. Rule 38.6(c)).
       6. This Motion is not sought for delay only but so that justice may be done.
     WHEREFORE,           PREMISIS     CONSIDERED,         Appellants/Cross    Appellees      and
Appellee/Cross Appellant respectively asks the Court to clarify the briefing schedule as
specified above in order to align the briefing with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
