`
`DEFENDANT WALKER ENGINEERING, INC.’S RESPONSE
`TO PLAINTIFFS’ EMERGENCY MOTION TO STRIKE
`
`TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
`
`IN THE DISTRICT COURT
`
`DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS
`
`
`
`44TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
`
`
`
`COMES NOW, WALKER ENGINEERING, INC., (“Engineering”) and files this, its
`
`Response to Plaintiffs’ Emergency Motion to Strike, and, in support thereof, would
`
`respectfully show unto the Court the following:
`
`I.
`
`
`
`In what can only be described as a frivolous motion to strike Engineering’s
`
`amended motion for summary judgment, Plaintiffs claim that Engineering blew a non-
`
`existent deadline to file its motion, breached a non-existent principle against filing an
`
`amended motion for summary judgment, and violated a non-existent local rule limiting a
`
`motion for summary judgment’s page numbers and exhibits. Because Engineering
`
`complied with every procedural rule in filing its amended motion for summary judgment,
`
`
`Defendant Walker Engineering, Inc.’s Response to Plainfiffs’ Emergency Mofion Strike
`
`
`Page 1 of 8
`
`

`

`
`
`and because there would be a due process violation in altering those rules at this late
`
`date, the Court should consider Engineering’s pending motion.
`
`
`
`Although Engineering cannot speak to Plaintiffs’ motives in filing the motion to
`
`strike, it bears noting that Engineering’s motion is a serious one, thorough in nature,
`
`addressing all possible claims Plaintiffs could be asserting – while Plaintiffs’ motion to
`
`strike is anything but. Plaintiffs’ theories have real problems that preclude trial, and those
`
`real problems do not vanish in the face of fabricated procedural defaults. Engineering’s
`
`motion deserves a ruling and, more than that, deserves a grant. The Court should deny
`
`Plaintiffs’ motion to strike in the interim.
`
`A.
`
`
`
`
`Engineering Complied with All Applicable Deadlines for Filing and Setting
`Its Amended Motion for Summary Judgment
`
`Plaintiffs first ask the Court to strike Engineering’s motion for summary judgment
`
`because: (1) it was filed 21 days before submission, in compliance with Texas Rule of
`
`Civil Procedure 166a(c); (2) it was set for submission 30 days before trial, in compliance
`
`with the Court’s governing procedures;1 and (3) it was filed in accordance with Rule
`
`166a(c) absent a deadline in the Fifth Amended Uniform Scheduling Order. As to the
`
`latter, the Fifth Amended Uniform Scheduling Order both reset the trial date and failed to
`
`include a deadline for dispositive motions as did all other prior scheduling orders –
`
`deadlines that would have been nullified given the new trial setting in any event. Harris
`
`v. Mastec N. Am., Inc., No. 05-19-00955-CV, 2020 WL 6305028, *3 (Tex. App. – Dallas
`
`2020, no pet.) (mem. op.) (holding trial court properly denied motion to strike because
`
`new trial date reset deadlines contained in prior scheduling order). There was no deadline
`
`
`1 Plainfiffs also complain that Engineering did not set its mofion for a hearing. But Engineering did request
`a hearing date from the Court’s clerk and was told that Engineering’s mofion for summary judgment would
`be considered on submission without a hearing.
`
`
`Defendant Walker Engineering, Inc.’s Response to Plainfiffs’ Emergency Mofion Strike
`
`
`Page 2 of 8
`
`

`

`
`
`contained in the Fifth Amended Uniform Scheduling Order for the Court to extend or with
`
`which Engineering had to comply and no deadline in any prior uniform scheduling order
`
`that would have survived a new trial date.
`
`Instead, Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 166a applies by default; and Engineering
`
`complied with its dictates – as Plaintiffs expressly acknowledge in their motion to strike.
`
`Dennis v. Giles Grp., inc., No. 04-07-00280-CV, 2008 WL 183062, *2 (Tex. App. – San
`
`Antonio, Jan. 23, 2008, no pet.) (mem. op.) (holding that the Texas Rules of Civil
`
`Procedure govern deadlines unless there is a scheduling order pursuant to Rule 166 that
`
`alters an otherwise applicable deadline); see also James v. Witherite, No. 05-17-00799-
`
`CV, 2018 WL 5869641, *6 (Tex. App. – Dallas, Nov. 9, 2018, no pet.) (mem. op.)
`
`(recognizing that trial court may alter deadlines imposed by the Texas Rules of Civil
`
`Procedure in a scheduling order issued pursuant to Rule 166 but the procedural rules
`
`govern absent any such altered deadline). The Court did not have to reauthorize a filing
`
`expressly permitted by the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and that nothing in any order
`
`precluded.
`
`Lastly, were the Court to strike Engineering’s motion despite Engineering having
`
`complied with all deadlines of which it could have been aware at the time of filing,
`
`Engineering would be denied due process. University of Tex. Med. Sch. at Houston v.
`
`Than, 901 S.W.2d 926, 930 (Tex. 1995) (“Due process at a minimum requires notice and
`
`an opportunity to be heard at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner.”). The Court
`
`should deny Plaintiffs’ motion to strike.

`

`
`
`B.
`
`
`
`
`There Is No Bar to an Amended Motion for Summary Judgment – Especially
`When It Contains Grounds the Court Has Never Considered Previously
`
`Plaintiffs next contend that Engineering could not file an amended motion for
`
`summary judgment that re-urges previously considered grounds. In support, Plaintiffs
`
`misconstrue the single case they cite in support and contort the concept of mootness.
`
`Specifically, Plaintiffs cite 9029 Gateway S. Joint Venture v. Eller Media Co., 159 S.W.3d
`
`183, 187 (Tex. App. – El Paso 2004, no pet.) for the proposition that a party can never file
`
`an amended motion for summary judgment after a court has ruled on an original motion
`
`that asserted the same grounds. The case says nothing of the sort. In fact, 9029 Gateway
`
`has nothing to do with amended motions for summary judgment at all. Id. Rather, the
`
`Court addressed only the timing of an amended answer. Id.
`
`As to the actual issue of whether a party can file an amended motion for summary
`
`judgment after the denial of a previous motion, binding Texas law answers that question
`
`with a resounding yes. Ho Yoo v. Hornok, No. 05-19-01590-CV, 2020 WL 6791521,
`
`*3 (Tex. App. – Dallas, Nov. 19, 2020, no pet.) (mem. op.). There, the Dallas Court of
`
`Appeals expressly held that “[t]here is no merit” to the “contention that a defendant may
`
`not file multiple motions for summary judgment urging grounds previously rejected by the
`
`trial court.” Id. The Dallas Court of Appeals explained that “Texas Rule of Civil Procedure
`
`166a includes no limit to the number of times a motion for summary judgment may be
`
`filed.” Id.
`
`
`
`Not only does Plaintiffs’ argument conflict with this case law, but Plaintiffs’
`
`proposed prohibition would contradict the well-settled principal that interlocutory rulings
`
`may be reconsidered by a trial court at any time. In re Brown, No. 05-20-00639-CV, 2020
`
`WL 4047965, *3 n.4 (Tex. App. – Dallas, Jul. 20, 2020, orig. proceeding) (“[A] trial court
`
`
`Defendant Walker Engineering, Inc.’s Response to Plainfiffs’ Emergency Mofion Strike
`
`
`Page 4 of 8
`
`

`

`
`
`may reconsider its interlocutory orders at any time before it renders judgment.”), citing
`
`Fruehauf Corp. v. Carrillo, 848 S.W.2d 83, 84 (Tex. 1993) (per curiam). In fact, Plaintiffs
`
`asked and received precisely that relief for every adverse pretrial ruling the Court’s
`
`predecessor judge made before her electoral defeat.
`
`
`
`As a result, any prior denial does not make Engineering’s motion “moot,” certainly
`
`as to the portions previously denied. Abbott v. Mexican Am. Leg. Caucus, 647 S.W.3d
`
`681, 689 (Tex. 2022) (explaining that a case is moot when a justiciable controversy does
`
`not exist between the parties or the parties do not have a legally cognizable interest in
`
`the outcome). To the extent Plaintiff contend the amended motion is moot because the
`
`Court’s predecessor judge granted it in part to Plaintiffs’ claims that are “mooted by the
`
`parties’ stipulation,” the meaning of that phrase is unclear. In Engineering’s view, that
`
`would mean Plaintiffs’ entire case is disposed, as all claims are contravened by the
`
`stipulation. Unfortunately, Engineering lacked sufficient time to seek clarification from the
`
`Court’s predecessor judge, given that the order was signed only days before she left
`
`office. As a result, Engineering has undertaken to address every conceivable theory in
`
`an amended motion for summary judgment.
`
`
`
`Regardless, Plaintiffs are wrong on the record in arguing that Engineering already
`
`asserted every ground for summary judgment contained in their amended motion and
`
`had relief denied. For one thing, Engineering never previously addressed the issue of
`
`agency because the Court did not allow an agency pleading until well after Engineering
`
`filed its motion for summary judgment and obtained a ruling. In fact, Engineering had no
`
`choice but to file an amended motion for summary judgment on that claim once an
`
`amended was permitted. See, e.g., Konogeris v. Pinnacle Health Facilities GP I, LLC,
`
`
`Defendant Walker Engineering, Inc.’s Response to Plainfiffs’ Emergency Mofion Strike
`
`
`Page 5 of 8
`
`

`

`
`
`657 S.W.3d 421, 426 (Tex. App. – El Paso 2022, no pet.) (“[W]hen a plaintiff amends its
`
`pleadings to add a new claim or theory of recovery after the defendant has moved for
`
`summary judgment, the defendant must ordinarily file an amended summary judgment
`
`motion to address the newly raised claims or theories before the trial court may grant a
`
`summary judgment on the entire plaintiff’s case.”).
`
`Moreover, a comparison of Engineering’s original motion and its amended motion
`
`show that the original motion addressed the supposed employer-employee relationship
`
`between Engineering and Sammy Deer and was not based on the subsequently pled
`
`agency theory. So, the original motion asked for a traditional summary judgment
`
`because: (1) Sammy Deer was not Engineering’s employee and, thus, Engineering could
`
`not be vicariously liable for his conduct; (2) absent that relationship, Engineering could
`
`not be liable for negligent hiring, negligent retention, and negligent supervision; and
`
`(3) Engineering owed no duty to train its employee on known hazards.
`
`While the second and third grounds overlap in some respects with the amended
`
`motion for summary judgment, the amended motion was written in the context of Plaintiffs’
`
`new agency theory and belated reliance on the Rental Agreement for the boom lift, which
`
`Engineering’s motion did not argue or attach. The same is true of the no-evidence portion
`
`of the original motion. The original motion and the amended motion are two entirely
`
`different procedural vehicles. Plaintiffs’ assertion otherwise is ironic given that they
`
`argued that the Court could not grant complete relief to Engineering because Engineering
`
`failed to move for summary judgment on a whole host of theories, including premises,
`
`other bases for vicarious liability including agency, negligent entrustment, and the
`
`
`Defendant Walker Engineering, Inc.’s Response to Plainfiffs’ Emergency Mofion Strike
`
`
`Page 6 of 8
`
`

`

`
`
`negligence of employees other than Sammy Deer. 2 The Court should deny the motion
`
`to strike.
`
`C.
`
`
`
`
`There Are No Local Rules that Limit the Number of Pages or Exhibits for a
`Motion for Summary Judgment
`
`Finally, Plaintiffs assert that Engineering violated an uncited local rule by filing a
`
`motion for summary judgment in excess of 25 pages and in attaching 11 exhibits.
`
`Engineering has no idea to what rule Plaintiffs intend to refer. Engineering has reviewed
`
`Miscellaneous Docket 14-9023, Approval of Amended Local Rules for the Civil Courts of
`
`Dallas County and the attached Local Rules of the Civil Courts of Dallas County, Texas.
`
`Engineering cannot find any limitation on the number of pages or the number of exhibits
`
`permitted for motions for summary judgment. Nor can Engineering find any such
`
`limitations contained in the 44th District Court Policies and Procedures. Texas Rule of
`
`Civil Procedure 166a itself contains no such limitation. Again, the Court should deny the
`
`motion to strike.
`
`II.
`PRAYER
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant Walker Engineering, Inc.
`
`respectfully requests that the Court deny Plaintiffs’ Emergency Motion to Strike, that the
`
`Court grant Engineering’s Amended Motion for Traditional and No-Evidence Summary
`
`Judgment, that the Court render a take-nothing judgment in favor of this Defendant and
`
`against Plaintiffs on all of their claims, that this Defendant recover its costs of court, and
`
`that the Court grant this Defendant such other and further relief to which it is entitled.
`
`
`2 Although Plaintiffs continually refer to John Self as Engineering’s employee, Engineering
`established as a matter of law in its amended motion that he was Industrial’s employee at the
`time in question.
