RE: Saenz, et al. v. Thorp Petroleum Corp., et al. ; Cause No. 04-14- 00527-CV Dear Mr. Hottle and the Honorable Justices of the Court of Appeals:
On Friday, August 14, 2015, the Salinas Defendants [1] filed a Conditional Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion for Rehearing. As stated in that motion, the Salinas Defendants sought an extension only in the case that the appellants also sought rehearing. The deadline has passed to seek an extension for motion for rehearing or en banc reconsideration, and the Salinas Defendants have not been served with any such motion by the appellants. Moreover, the Court’s online docket indicates that the appellants have not filed such a motion, and the clerk’s office confirmed over the phone this morning that the Court has not received such a motion from the appellants.
As such, please allow this letter to serve as notice that the Salinas Defendants are withdrawing their Conditional Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion for Rehearing. Please contact me if you should need anything further.
