                                          Counsel for the State of Texas
    Unopposed Conditional Motion to File Supplemental Brief
    Appellee the State of Texas respectfully moves to file the attached prear-
gument supplemental brief—in the event the Court elects to file Xerox’s sup-
plemental brief. This motion is unopposed and rests on the following bases:
    1. This is an appeal in a civil case. Oral argument is set for December 16,
2015.
    2. On December 8, 2015, appellees Xerox Corporation and Xerox State

Healthcare, LLC (“Xerox”) filed an unopposed motion for leave to file a sup-
plemental brief. Xerox tendered with its motion its supplemental brief.
    3. This Court has not yet granted that motion, but it has called for paper
copies of Xerox’s supplemental brief.
    4. Xerox represented to the State that its supplemental brief would con-
cern jurisdiction and be “limited to the issue the State raised in its brief.”
    5. The State expressed that it would not oppose the filing of that brief,
on the condition that both Xerox and appellants did not oppose the State’s
filing of a responsive supplemental brief.
    6. That consent was given, as relayed to the State by Xerox’s counsel.
Accordingly, this motion is unopposed.
    7. To the extent this Court finds that justice requires allowing Xerox to
file its supplemental brief, see Tex. R. App. P. 38.7, justice would for the same
reasons require allowing the State to file its responsive supplemental brief.
The State takes no position on whether justice requires allowing Xerox to file

                                       -1-
its supplemental brief. The State submits only that any sufficient cause for fil-
ing that brief extends to a response to that brief.

                                  Conclusion
    For the reasons described above, the State of Texas respectfully moves for
leave to file its responsive supplemental brief, in the event Xerox is granted
leave to file its supplemental brief tendered December 8, 2015. The State’s
responsive supplemental brief is tendered simultaneously with this motion.

                                        Respectfully submitted.
