                                    MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL

             STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS TEXAS, LP AND MATTAM
     ENTERPRISES, L.L.C., hereafter called PLAINTIFFIMOVANT, moves this Court to set
     aside the summary judgment rendered against them on August 26,2015, and grant them a
     new trial in this cause.

                                                    L

             1.1 	    This Motion is presented within the time limits prescribed by the Texas Rules
                      ofCivil Procedure for a Motion for New Trial.

                                                    IL

             2.1 The Court erred in failing to grant the motion for continuance filed by
          PlaintifflMovant prior to the hearing. The Defendants provided no notice to
          PlaintiffIMovant ofthe date and time of the hearing set to hear the motion for summary
          judgment. Actual notice was not received by PlaintiffIMovant until 20 days prior to the
          hearing instead of the 21 days required by Rule 166a. The PlaintifflMovant did not
          have adequate time to prepare and the motion for continuance should have been granted.

             2.2 The Court's sustaining of Defendants' objections to documents 1,2,3,4, & 5 was
          not justified by the filets or argument of counsel. The said documents were llroperly
          attached to valid affidavit~ and went to show that the PlaintiffIMovant had a valid claim
          against the Defendants.

             2.3 The Court erred in Granting Defendants' objection to the affidavit of Vernon
          Harrison.
            2.4· The Court erred in sustaining Defendants' objection to the affidavit of Matt
          Moser.
             2.5 The Court erred in sustaining Defendants' objection to the affidavit of Tom
          Moser.

                                                    m.
             3.1 The Court's Order Granting Defendants' Motion For Final Summary Judgment is
          not supported by the law or the facts in light of the Court's error in 1) failing to grant
       PlaintiffIMovant's Motion for Continuance, and 2) granting objections to all of
       PlaintiffIMovant' s proffered summary judgment evidence.
          3.2 There is evidence to sustain and support PlaintiffIMovant's causes of action, and
       the Court should have denied the motion for summary judgment and allowed the case to
       proceed to trial.

                                              IV.

          4.1 PlaintiffIMovant bas meritorious claims against the Defendants.•
          4.2 The granting ofa new trial will not prejudice the other party to this cause.
          4.3 PlaintiffIMovant is ready, able and willing to go to trial immediately and no
       delay, harm or prejudice will occur to the other party as a result of PlaintifflMovant's
       motion.
                                            PRAYER.

          PlaintifflMovant prays that after notice that the Court bold a hearing, and after such
       hearing the summary judgment rendered in this cause be set aside and that
       PlaintiffIMovant be granted a new trial.
