 UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF
         OF APPELLEES JOE AND DIANE ALLBAUGH

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
        Appellees Joe and Diane Allbaugh [hereinafter “Appellees”] hereby file this
unopposed motion requesting this Court grant leave to file a supplemental
responsive brief, and in support thereof shows the Court as follows:

                                Timeline of Appeal
        Appellant’s Brief was filed September 8, 2014. Appellee’s Response Brief
was filed October 24, 2014. Appellant’s Reply Brief was filed November 13,
2014. The case was submitted on oral argument on January 28, 2015.
        On June 5, 2015, Appellant filed its motion for leave to file a supplemental
brief based on a recent decision by the Texas Supreme Court in Gharda USA, Inc.
v. Control Solutions, Inc., No. 12-0987 (Tex. May 8, 2015). The motion for leave
was granted on June 5, 2015.
        Appellees now seek leave to file a supplemental brief addressing the points
raised in Appellant’s brief and the Gharda case.

                                       Prayer
        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees Joe and Diane
Allbaugh pray that this motion be granted and that they be granted leave to file a
supplemental brief, and for all other and further relief to which they are justly
entitled.
