RANCHO VIEJO CATTLE COMPANY, LTD. and Rancho Viejo Management, LLC, Appellants v. ANB CATTLE COMPANY, LTD., Appellee
From the 49th Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014CVQ-000162-D1
Honorable Jose A. Lopez, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Sitting: Patricia Alvarez, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice
On December 23, 2020, we denied all requests for oral argument in this case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 39.8. The case was set for submission on briefs for Tuesday, February 9, 2021. Appellants then filed a motion to reconsider the denial of oral argument. Upon further review, we have determined that oral argument should be heard.
Therefore, appellants' motion is GRANTED. The February 9, 2021 submission date is withdrawn. We ORDER this case to be set for oral submission on Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. before a panel consisting of Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Irene Rios, and Justice Beth Watkins.
In accordance with the Texas Supreme Court's emergency orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the oral argument will be held through the Fourth Court of Appeals' Zoom license.
Counsel will receive a separate e-mail that will contain a link for the oral argument. Counsel are admonished as follows:
1. The link to Zoom is only for counsel presenting argument and is not to be shared with any other person. Counsel will need a computer or other electronic device with a camera, a microphone, and access to the Internet. If counsel intends to present any exhibits during oral argument, any such exhibits must be electronically filed by noon on the day before argument.
2. The argument will be live streamed to the Court's YouTube channel for the benefit of the public. The argument can be accessed using the following link:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiaWJQ7eW5OQIALdyLN6s3A
3. Counsel are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Zoom platform. The Clerk of the Court will contact counsel no later than the week before argument to verify connectivity and equipment.
4. Counsel must wear court-appropriate attire and choose an appropriate background.
The time for oral argument will be limited to twenty minutes for appellants' opening argument, twenty minutes for appellee's argument, and ten minutes for appellants' rebuttal argument. If any participant's link is disconnected during argument, timing of the argument will stop until the participant is able to reconnect.
If any party no longer wishes to present argument, the party must notify this court in writing within seven days of the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED on January, 2021.
