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 25 th

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
