MIGUEL LOYA, VITOL, INC., MICHAEL METZ, ANTONIO MAARRAOUI, Appellees. __________________________________ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SUR-REPLY BRIEF OF APPELLEES __________________________________ On Appeal from the 190th District Court, Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2012-33464 __________________________________ TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS: Appellees, Vitol Inc., Michael Metz, Antonio Maarraoui (collectively “the Vitol Appellees”), and Miguel Loya (“Miguel”) file this Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Sur-Reply, and would show the Court as follows: 1. This case is set for submission without oral argument on October 7, 2015, before a panel consisting of Justice Jennings, Justice Higley, and Justice Brown. (The companion appeal, No. 01-14-01014-CV, is set for the same date with the same panel.) The filing of this Sur-Reply will not delay disposition of this case. 2. Appellant filed her Reply Brief on August 17, 2015. Given that there is no oral argument of this case that would provide Appellees with an opportunity to respond to Appellant’s Reply Brief, Appellees seek to file a Sur-Reply, attached to this Motion, to briefly address arguments raised in the Reply Brief. 3. Appellant does not oppose this motion for leave. For all the foregoing reasons, Appellees respectfully request this Court to grant this Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Sur-Reply and grant Appellees such other and further relief to which they may be justly entitled. 2 Respectfully submitted, VINSON & ELKINS L.L.P. /s/ Patrick W.
