                        THIRD SUPREME JUDICIAL DISTRICT

                                  AT AUSTIN, TEXAS

               VICTORY CHEVAL HOLDINGS, LLC, GARRETT JENNINGS
                    AND CASTLE CROWN MANAGEMENT, LLC,

                                        Appellants

                                             v.

                        DENNIS ANTOLIK, VICTOR ANTOLIK
                            and CHEVAL MANOR, INC.,

                                         Appellees

                     APPELLANTS' MOTION FOR CONTEMPT
                       AND REFERRAL TO TRIAL COURT

    TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

          Pursuant to T.R.A.P. 29.4, Appellants, Victory Cheval Holdings, LLC, Garrett

    Jennings, and Castle Crown Management, LLC move the Court to find Appellees,

    Victor Antolik, Dennis Antolik, and Cheval Manor, Inc., in contempt of the agreed

    portion of the Temporary Injunction now on interlocutory appeal before this Court as

    follows:
       1.     Subsection B of the Temporary Injunction sets forth agreed injunctive

relief that the parties agreed to in open Court and the Court ordered enforced.

Subsection B6 provides as follows:

       "Dennis Antolik, Victor Antolik, and Cheval Manor, Inc. shall keep all
       of the thirteen (13) horses that may be owned by them or business
       entities owned by them, or under their control, restrained behind a gated
       and secured fence...."

       2.     Appellants have failed to keep the horses restrained behind a gated and

secured fence. Failure to keep the horses restrained behind a gated and secured fence

was the cause of prior damage to the polo field and injury to persons on the property.

It was probably the primary reason for the Court entering a temporary injunction.

       3.     This Court, by order dated September 10, 2015, has previously ordered

Appellees' Motion for Contempt against Appellants referred to the trial court, The

Honorable Karin Crump, for an evidentiary hearing pursuant to T.R.A.P. 29.4(a).

Judge Crump has scheduled that hearing for 9:00 a.m. on September 30, 2015.

Appellants respectfully request that the Court enter its order referring this Motion for

Contempt for evidentiary hearing at the same time before Judge Crump.

       WHEREFORE, Appellants respectfully pray that the Court enter its order

referring this matter to Judge Crump for an evidentiary hearing pursuant to T.R.A.P.

29.4(a), and for general relief.
