On Appeal from the 14th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-00698
ORDER
Although appellee/cross-appellant SOMMA Food Group was ordered to file a combined responsive and cross-appellant's brief within thirty days of the filing of appellants' opening briefs, it filed its cross-appellant's brief at the time appellants/cross-appellees filed their opening briefs. SOMMA now seeks, along with the appellants/cross-appellees, an extension of time to file the appellee's and cross-appellees' responsive briefs.
Local Rule 5(a) provides, in relevant part, as follows:
In a civil appeal in which a cross-appeal has been timely filed, the briefs to be filed by the parties are:
5th Tex. App. (Dallas) Loc. R. 5(a). Accordingly, we STRIKE SOMMA's cross-appellant's brief. We GRANT the extension motion TO THE EXTENT that we ORDER SOMMA to file its combined appellee's and cross-appellant's brief no later than November 20, 2020. Appellants/cross-appellees shall each file their combined appellant's reply and cross-appellee's briefs within thirty days of the date the appellee's/cross-appellant's brief is filed.1) The appellant's brief.
2) A combined appellee's and cross-appellant's brief.
3) A combined appellant's reply brief and cross-appellee's brief.
4) The cross-appellant's reply brief.
