Re: Cause No.: 01-12-00906-CV; John Moore Services, Inc. and John Moore
Renovation, LLC v. The Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Houston, Inc.
and
Cause No.: 01-14-00687-CV; The Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan
Houston Education Foundation, et al. v. John Moore Services, Inc., et al.
Dear Mr. Prine:
On April 1, 2015, the Court entered an order referring the above-referenced cases to
mediation. The mediation is presently scheduled for June 29, 2015. In the court’s order, it also
tentatively set the 01-14-00906-CV case for oral argument on June 30, 2015 should oral
argument be granted. Given the proximity of the tentative setting, can you please advise whether
the Court intends for the parties to present oral argument on that date if the parties are unable to
settle their dispute at mediation?
Should the Court decide that oral argument would be appropriate at a later date, I would
like to advise the Court that I will be out of the country on a family vacation from July 25th
through August 9, 2015. It would be greatly appreciated if any potential argument setting did not
fall within that two week time frame.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Lauren B. Harris
