Trial Court No. 2017-CI-01954
Honorable Laura Salinas, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On August 2, 2017, the trial court signed an order granting Appellees' plea to the jurisdiction and dismissing Appellant's suit. Konark Limited Partnership timely filed a notice of appeal, and BTX Schools, Inc. and BASIS Schools, Inc. timely filed a notice of cross-appeal.
After the clerk's record was filed, on December 29, 2017, Appellant/Cross-Appellee and Cross-Appellants/Appellees filed a joint motion for order of briefing that proposed a consolidated and extended briefing schedule. The parties' joint motion is GRANTED.
We ORDER the parties to file their briefs according to the following schedule:
| Due Date | Appeal | Cross-Appeal |
| 20 Feb 2018 | Appellant's opening brief | |
| 22 Mar 2018 | Appellees' response brief | Cross-Appellants' opening brief |
| 23 Apr 2018 | Appellant's reply brief | Cross-Appellee's response brief |
| 14 May 2018 | Cross-Appellants' reply brief |
• an Appellant's brief,
• a combined Appellees' brief and Cross-Appellants' brief,
• a combined Appellant's reply and Cross-Appellee's brief, and
• a Cross-Appellants' reply brief.
The briefs shall comply with the length and content requirements established by the applicable Rules. E.g., TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4(i), 38.1, 38.2, 38.3. Given the court's approval of the parties' joint motion for the requested due dates, the court does not expect to entertain motions to extend the filing deadlines. See, e.g., TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b), 38.6(d).
If Cross-Appellants choose to file a reply brief, we ORDER Cross-Appellants to notify this court in writing not later than April 30, 2018, of their intent to do so. See id. R. 38.3, 38.6(d).
