`
`IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF
`
`HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS
`
`61st JUDICIAL DISTRICT
`
`SUPPLEMENT TO RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR INTERIM PROTECTIVE ORDER
`TO NOTIFY COURT OF DENIAL OF MOTION IN SEPARATE PROCEEDING
`
`Defendants DISA Global Solutions, Inc. and DISA Holdings Corp., improperly identified
`
`as DISA Holding Corp. (“DISA”) 1 file this Supplement to Response to Plaintiff Clifton
`
`Monceaux’s Motion for Interim Protective Order to notify the Court that on September 29, 2020,
`
`the 269th District Court denied an identical motion for interim protective order filed by
`
`Plaintiff’s counsel on behalf of a different plaintiff in another lawsuit. (See 9.29.20 Order in
`
`Roys v. DISA Global Solutions, Inc., et al., attached as Exhibit 8.) The Roys case is based on nearly
`
`identical facts and allegations as this case and involves the same counsel representing DISA and
`
`Plaintiff.
`
`Like the plaintiff in this case, the plaintiff in Roys alleges that his urine sample drug test
`
`yielded a false-positive result and asserts claims of negligence and DTPA violations, among others.
`
`The documents at issue in Roys are essentially the same of documents at issue in this case, with
`
`1 DISA Global Solutions, Inc. is the only properly named DISA entity in this lawsuit. DISA Holdings Corp.
`is a Delaware corporation but does not operate as a drug test administrator, which is solely the purview of DISA
`Global Solutions, Inc. “University Services DISAWorks” is not the name any business entity to DISA’s knowledge
`and is not a party to this litigation. DISAWorks is not a business entity. It is a product developed by DISA Global
`Solutions, Inc.
`
`
`
`the exception that documents specific to each plaintiff and his drug tests, of course, are different.
`
`In fact, Roys involves the same laboratory (Clinical Reference Laboratory) and the same medical
`
`review officer (University MRO, LLC) as this case.
`
`The Plaintiff in Roys filed a motion for entry of protective order that is virtually identical
`
`to the one in this case. Accordingly, DISA’s response to the motion in Roys is virtually identical
`
`to its response in this case and relied on the same legal arguments. There is no compelling reason
`
`this case should be treated any differently than Roys. DISA, therefore, requests the Court accept
`
`this Supplement to the Response to Motion for Interim Protective Order and, as the court did in
`
`Roys, enter an order denying Plaintiff’s Motion for Interim Protective Order.
`
`Date: October 1, 2020.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
