PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 3 OF 24
20. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff alleges that the true identities and residences of Defendants JOHN DOE 13-25, respectively, are currently unknown to Plaintiff at this time. Plaintiff shall proceed with due diligence to discover the identities of Defendants JOHN DOE 13-25, respectively, and after said Defendants’ true identities have been discovered, Plaintiff will amend this Petition accordingly.
21. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff alleges that, at all material times, Defendants Hyatt, Hyatt House, Island Hospitality Management, Grand Prix, Ink Acquisition, Ink Acquisition II, Ink Acquisition III, Ink Lessee, Ink Lessee Holding, Chatham Holding, Chatham Lodging, and Fisher (collectively referred to herein as “Alter Ego Defendant” or “Alter Ego Defendants”) were the agents, servants, employees, partners, authorized agents and/or joint venturers of every other Alter Ego Defendant and the acts of each Alter Ego Defendant was within the course and scope of the agency, employment, partnership, joint enterprise, and/or joint venture such that each Alter Ego Defendant is jointly and severally liable for the damages Alter Ego Defendants caused Plaintiff as alleged herein and, further, that each Alter Ego Defendant is jointly and severally responsible for the acts and/or omissions of every other Alter Ego Defendant. Plaintiff specifically alleges and asserts the alter ego theory of liability against the Alter Ego Defendants because the Alter Ego Defendants are simply the alter ego of each other due to such a unity of interest and ownership between the business entities and its equitable owner or owners that the separate personalities of the business entities and shareholder/equitable owner or owners do not, in reality, exist, and because if the acts complained of herein are those of the business entities themselves than an inequitable result to Plaintiff would occur. Thus, Plaintiff specifically alleges that any and all acts or omissions taken by any of the Alter Ego Defendants, indeed, acts or omissions taken by all Alter Ego Defendants.
PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 4 OF 24
22. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff alleges that, at all material times, Defendants POST PROPERTIES, INC. and POST ADDISON CIRCLE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (collectively, referred to herein as “Post Properties”) were the agents, servants, employees, partners, authorized agents and/or joint venturers of one another and the acts of each entity was within the course and scope of the agency, employment, partnership, joint enterprise, and/or joint venture such that each entity is jointly and severally liable for the damages Post Properties caused Plaintiff as alleged herein and, further, that the Post Properties Defendants are jointly and severally responsible for the acts and/or omissions of one another. Plaintiff specifically alleges and asserts the alter ego theory of liability against Post Properties because Post Properties are simply the alter ego of one another due to such a unity of interest and ownership between the business entities and its equitable owner or owners that the separate personalities of the business entities and shareholder/equitable owner or owners do not, in reality, exist, and because if the acts complained of herein are those of the business entities themselves than an inequitable result to Plaintiff would occur. Thus, Plaintiff specifically alleges that any and all acts or omissions taken by Post Properties were, indeed, acts or omissions taken by each entity.
III. JURISDICTION
23. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this lawsuit because the amount in controversy exceeds the minimum jurisdictional requirements.
24. In accordance with TEX. R. CIV. P. 47, Plaintiff seeks monetary relief in excess of $1,000,000.00 due to Defendants’ tortious, outrageous, and grossly negligent conduct.
25. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants Deari, Kreka, PPI, Hyatt, and Island Hospitality because the foregoing Defendants have generally appeared in this case. PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 5 OF 24
26. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants Hyatt House, Grand Prix, Ink Acquisition, Ink Acquisition II, Ink Acquisition III, Ink Lessee, Ink Lessee Holding, Chatham Holding, Chatham Lodging, Fisher, and Post Properties because each of the aforementioned Defendants (1) engage in, and transact business within, the State of Texas, (2) maintain continuous and systematic contacts with the State of Texas, (3) purposefully avail, or availed, itself to the laws of the State of Texas, (4) committed a tort or torts, in whole or in part, in the State of Texas against a Texas resident, and (5) a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff’s claims occurred in Texas and involved said Defendants.
27. Removal of this case to a federal court is inappropriate and statutorily unauthorized because (1) complete diversity of parties is lacking, (2) at least one Defendant is a forum-state defendant by virtue of its status as a Texas business entity and/or principal place of business being located in Texas, and (3) Plaintiff has not alleged a federal question, federal cause of action, or alleged facts that would give rise to a federal question, federal cause of action, and/or “federal officer” removal jurisdiction; therefore, any attempt to remove this case to a federal court is frivolous and gives rise to sanctionable conduct.
IV. VENUE
28. Pursuant to TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 15.002(a), venue is proper in Dallas County, Texas because (1) all or a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff’s claims occurred in Dallas County, Texas, and (2) some or all of the Defendants resided in Dallas County, Texas at the time Plaintiff’s causes of action accrued.
29. Pursuant to TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 15.005, because venue is proper in Dallas County, Texas as to at least one Defendant, venue is proper in Dallas County, Texas as to all Defendants.
PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 6 OF 24
V. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
30. Plaintiff expressly incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 29 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
31. In early 2011, Plaintiff was 18 years old and a recent graduate from high school. Plaintiff excelled in school academically, graduating as the valedictorian of her class.
32. Like many young adults, Plaintiff was in search of an entry-level job at a local business in order to earn disposable income and garner working experience. While networking for such a job, Plaintiff was introduced to Defendant Deari and Defendant Kreka. Plaintiff was told that Deari and Kreka were the owners of two local bar/restaurants, and would be willing to meet with her to lend any insight they may have.
33. On or about April 26, 2011, Plaintiff met Deari and Kreka at a restaurant in Dallas, Texas. Although this meeting was not employment-related, Plaintiff met with said Defendants merely to continue networking.
34. Deari asked Plaintiff how old she was and Plaintiff informed both men that she was 18 years old. At the time, Defendant Deari was approximately 49 years old and Defendant Kreka was approximately 33 years old. The two Defendants subsequently tried to order Plaintiff an alcoholic beverage; however, the restaurant’s server refused to bring the beverage because Plaintiff was underage.
35. Undeterred, Deari and Kreka decided that it would be easiest to order Plaintiff beverages at Defendant PPI’s Addison, Texas location. Indeed, Defendant Deari was, and is, the registered agent, director, and president of PPI. On information and belief, Plaintiff alleges that PPI, as lessee, leases the physical space for its Addison, Texas location from Defendant Post Properties, as lessor (as confirmed by Century Surety Company, CCP672836 and said PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 7 OF 24 Defendants’ original, first, and second amended leases for said property).
36. As the two men had planned, Defendant Deari and Defendant Kreka convinced Plaintiff to drive to PPI. Prior to their arrival, Defendant Deari purchased hard liquor from a store with the intention of personally serving the alcohol to Plaintiff. Neither Deari nor PPI were licensed by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission to sell or serve hard liquor.
37. Upon arrival at PPI, Defendants Kreka and Deari began serving, retrieving, and otherwise giving Plaintiff multiple “shots” of hard liquor. Defendant PPI’s other employees— who were acting within the course and scope of their employment—also negligently served Plaintiff beer without ever asking for identification. Defendants Deari and Kreka repeatedly and aggressively pressured Plaintiff into consuming—and Plaintiff, indeed, consumed—alcoholic beverages despite their knowledge that Plaintiff was not of legal age to drink. Just as Defendants Deari and Kreka planned, Plaintiff became intoxicated and she was, in fact, obviously intoxicated. PPI’s other employees negligently failed to identify Plaintiff’s over-service.
38. After Plaintiff had consumed multiple shots of hard liquor and servings of beer, Deari and Kreka decided that their next stop should be to take Plaintiff to a local adult entertainment establishment. Deari retrieved his vehicle from PPI’s parking lot and told Kreka and Plaintiff to get into the vehicle. Kreka moved into the driver’s seat and Plaintiff, who was highly intoxicated, sat in the back of the vehicle. Plaintiff then lost consciousness.
39. Plaintiff’s next memory is vomiting in a gas station parking lot before losing consciousness again. Sometime thereafter, Plaintiff regained consciousness in a hotel room located at 4900 Edwin Lewis Drive, Addison, Texas 75001 wherein she had been involuntarily disrobed and was actively being raped by Defendant Deari. Said hotel is a premise that was, and is, owned, operated, controlled, managed, and/or otherwise possessed by the Alter Ego PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 8 OF 24 Defendants as owner, franchisor, franchisee, assignor, assignee, lessor, lessee, transferor, transferee, manager, and as the alter egos of each other and/or Hyatt and/or Fisher. Said premises lacked any reasonable degree of security that could have, and would have, prevented or mitigated the reasonably foreseeable attack on Plaintiff.
40. Plaintiff repeatedly insisted that Defendant Deari stop the attack, but he did not. It was only after Plaintiff made multiple demands for Defendant Deari to stop did the sexual assault eventually end. Fearful of another attack, Plaintiff locked herself in the bathroom.
41. While still in the hotel room—and without ever being impeded by the Alter Ego Defendants—Defendant Deari called Defendant Kreka on the telephone and told him that Plaintiff was “really freaking out, dude”, and asked for Kreka to retrieve him from the Alter Ego Defendants’ premises. With the knowledge that a sexual assault had just occurred (one in which Defendant Kreka conspired to commit, facilitated, aided, and abetted), Kreka retrieved Deari from the crime scene (again, unimpeded by the Alter Ego Defendants) thereby assisting Deari’s evasion of law enforcement.
42. Plaintiff alleges that the Alter Ego Defendants knew, or reasonably should have known, of the reasonably foreseeable, unreasonable risks of harm from criminal activity at its premises to Plaintiff taking into account the history, frequency, proximity, regularity, publicity, and similarity of criminal conduct on or near the Alter Ego Defendants’ property. The Alter Ego Defendants negligently and grossly negligently allowed Defendant Deari and Defendant Kreka to reserve a room at its hotel, enter it with an unconscious 18 year-old woman, rape her, and come and go from its property in an unimpeded fashion such that Defendants could evade a police investigation without resistance.
43. After the attack on Plaintiff ceased and Deari and Kreka left the Alter Ego PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 9 OF 24 Defendants’ premises, a friend of Plaintiff’s arrived at the hotel to help. After learning what happened, the friend immediately notified the Addison Police Department. While investigating the crime scene, Defendant Deari—while smoking a cigar—came back to the hotel (presumably to retrieve the underwear he left, which was taken into evidence by the police department), and Deari was arrested, charged with the crime of sexual assault, indicted, and has a criminal trial pending. At this point in time, Defendant Kreka has not been charged for the crimes he aided, abetted, facilitated, and conspired to commit; however, on information and belief Plaintiff alleges that the State of Texas is well within the statute of limitations for such a crime to arrest, charge, and indict Kreka for his involvement in the attack on Plaintiff.
44. Plaintiff was immediately transmitted to the hospital and underwent a series of examinations, tests, and administered massive quantities of treatments for the injuries she incurred during the rape.
45. Within a matter of days following the sexual assault, Plaintiff went back to the hospital after she experienced severe pain in her pubic region. Upon information and belief, the doctors informed Plaintiff that she had contracted herpes, an incurable sexually-transmitted disease, during the rape. The doctors conducted a blood test on Plaintiff wherein the specific strand of herpes was identified. It has recently been discovered that the results of a mandatory blood/sexually-transmitted disease test ordered by the Court in “The State of Texas v. Danny Deari” has confirmed that Plaintiff’s attacker (who did not utilize latex contraception during the attack), Defendant Deari, is infected with the same derivation of the herpes virus and undoubtedly infected Plaintiff.
46. As a proximate result of the despicable, extreme, outrageous, tortious, and grossly negligent acts and omissions by Defendants alleged herein, Plaintiff has foreseeably suffered, PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 10 OF 24 and will continue to suffer, through extreme emotional distress, pain, mental anguish, and suffering as the sexual assault is constantly replayed in her mind and the aftermath displayed on her body. Plaintiff is forced to shoulder the burden of Defendants’ horrible acts for the rest of her life which, according to the federal government’s “National Vital Statistics Reports”, is expected to be another 61.6 years.2 Plaintiff has incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial damages that were all proximately caused by Defendants.
VI. CAUSES OF ACTION
COUNT 1: ASSAULT – THREAT OF BODILY INJURY
47. Plaintiff’s first cause of action is alleged against Defendants Deari and Kreka, only. As used in this cause of action, “Defendants” refers to Defendant Deari and Defendant Kreka.
48. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 47 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
49. On or about April 26, 2011, Defendants intentionally or knowingly threatened Plaintiff with imminent bodily injury. Defendants’ threat of imminent bodily injury caused Plaintiff to be apprehensive, which was a foreseeable result of Defendants’ actions.
50. Defendants are liable for the threat of bodily injury committed against Plaintiff because Defendants participated in the tortious acts themselves or, alternatively, assisted the tortious act against Plaintiff in furtherance of the civil conspiracy to do so or, alternatively, aided and abetted each other to allow the ultimate threat of bodily injury against Plaintiff to take place.
51. Defendants’ threat of imminent bodily injury to Plaintiff was a cause of the damages alleged herein.
COUNT 2: ASSAULT (BATTERY) –BODILY INJURY AND OFFENSIVE CONTACT
52. Plaintiff’s second cause of action is alleged against Defendants Deari and Kreka, only. As used in this cause of action, “Defendants” refers to Defendants Deari and Kreka.
53. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 52 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
54. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, the statutory language of TEX. PENAL CODE §§ 22.01, 22.011 describing the felonies of “Assault” and “Sexual Assault”. Plaintiff alleges that Plaintiff was the victim of the aforementioned crimes that Defendants committed against Plaintiff on or about April 26, 2011, and that said crimes have caused Plaintiff’s damages alleged herein.
55. Defendants intentionally, knowingly, and/or recklessly made physical contact with Plaintiff’s person causing bodily injury—that is, physical pain, illness, or impairments of Plaintiff’s physical condition—and Plaintiff did not, and could not, consent to the harmful physical contact.
56. Alternatively, Defendants intentionally or knowingly caused to be made physical contact with Plaintiff when Defendants knew, or reasonably should have believed, that Plaintiff would regard the contact as offensive or provocative. Indeed, said physical contact was offensive, provocative, and committed by Defendants despite never having consent from Plaintiff.
57. As a causal result of Defendants’ battery of Plaintiff’s person, Plaintiff suffered immediate, consequential, and subsequent injuries—including pain, illness, and physical impairment—that were foreseeable to Defendants. The assault committed by Defendants on Plaintiff’s person was a cause of the damages alleged by Plaintiff herein.
PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 12 OF 24
58. Defendants are liable for the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault of which Plaintiff is a victim because Defendants participated in the tortious and felonious acts themselves or, alternatively, assisted the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault against Plaintiff in furtherance of the civil conspiracy to do so or, alternatively, aided and abetted the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault by providing intoxicating substances to Plaintiff, a mode of transportation for the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault to occur, and/or a location— which was foreseeably unsafe and unreasonably dangerous—for the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault to take place.
59. In addition to committing, conspiring to commit, or aiding and abetting assault, battery, and/or sexual assault against Plaintiff, the investigation is still ongoing as to whether or not Defendants individually—or collectively in furtherance of a conspiracy and/or whilst aiding and abetting each other—should be charged with, criminally prosecuted for, and civilly held liable for the felony of “Aggravated Sexual Assault”, as defined by TEX. PENAL CODE § 22.021 and fully incorporated by reference herein.
COUNT 3: SEXUAL ASSAULT—TEX. PENAL CODE § 22.011
60. Plaintiff’s third cause of action is alleged against Defendants Deari and Kreka, only. As used in this cause of action, “Defendants” refers to Defendants Deari and Kreka.
61. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 60 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
COUNT 4: FALSE IMPRISONMENT
62. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 60 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
63. Without legal authority or justification, Defendants willfully detained or PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 13 OF 24 participated in the detainment of Plaintiff without Plaintiff’s consent. Defendants accomplished the unlawful detainment of Plaintiff with violence, threats that were calculated to inspire—and, in fact, inspired—a reasonable fear of injury to Plaintiff, intoxicating substances, and/or other means that were intended to cause—and, in fact, caused—Plaintiff to be unable to exercise her will in going anywhere she was lawfully allowed to go. Said false imprisonment took place at the hotel owned and operated by the Alter Ego Defendants, interior of the restaurant possessed, owned and/or controlled by Post Properties and PPI (due to Plaintiff’s physical inability and/or lawful ability to leave in such an unconscious and/or intoxicated state), and exterior of the restaurant in the “common area” possessed, owned and/or controlled by Post Properties and PPI.
64. The false imprisonment committed by Defendants against Plaintiff was a proximate cause of the damages alleged by Plaintiff herein.
COUNT 5: NEGLIGENCE
65. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 64 of Plaintiff’s Original Petition.
66. Defendants owed Plaintiff legal duties that Defendants breached thereby proximately causing Plaintiff’s damages.
67. For example, the Alter Ego Defendants, for example, as innkeepers owed Plaintiff a duty to use the appropriate legal standard of care in maintaining its premises in a safe and secure condition and to inspect the premises to ensure the safety of its occupants, a duty to protect Plaintiff against unreasonable and foreseeable risks of harm from the criminal acts of third parties due to the Alter Ego Defendants’ status (as landowner and, further, the heightened duty owed by an innkeeper) and ability to control the security and safety of the premises, a duty not to injure Plaintiff in a willful, wanton, or grossly negligent manner or allow another to do so PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 14 OF 24 on its premises when it knew, or reasonably should have known, such conduct would take place, a duty to make safe conditions on its property in order to protect Plaintiff, and a duty to treat Plaintiff in a manner that would not subject her to physical or mental injury. As alleged fully herein, there can be no dispute that the Alter Ego Defendants breached each and every one of the duties it owed Plaintiff. Defendants PPI and Post Properties, for example, had a duty to use the appropriate legal standard of care to ensure that invitees at the PPI Addison, Texas location would be safe, secure, and that the normal and lawful activities that would otherwise take place at the restaurant would not harm its invitees. Defendants PPI and Post Properties breached these duties owed to Plaintiff. Post Properties also had a duty to protect Plaintiff, and the public as a whole, from unlawful lessees of its property by conducting a reasonable investigation into its lessees and/or terminate a lease upon the happening of an unlawful event (such as PPI’s citation from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission in 2002 for serving a minor alcohol) and, further, a duty to control the activities taking place on the “common area” outside of the restaurant to ensure the safety of the individuals on said property; however, Post Properties clearly breached these duties and, moreover, actually extended PPI’s lease just days after the attack on Plaintiff occurred and to this day has not terminated said lease. Defendant PPI had a duty to control its employees, a duty to supervise its employee’s activities, a duty to prevent an employee from causing an unreasonable risk of harm to Plaintiff, a duty to use the appropriate legal standard of care in hiring and retaining its employees, a duty to not place Plaintiff in harm’s way of foreseeable criminal activity, and a duty to treat Plaintiff in a manner that would not subject her to physical or mental injury. PPI breached those duties it owed Plaintiff by, amongst other things, negligently providing intoxicating substances to Plaintiff, negligently hiring its employees, negligently supervising its employees, and/or placing her in harm’s way. Defendant PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 15 OF 24 Kreka, by way of example, owed Plaintiff a legal duty to protect Plaintiff from harm when the danger was caused, in part, by Kreka and the harm was apparent to Kreka such that he was in a position to protect Plaintiff from the harm, a duty to not place Plaintiff in harm’s way of foreseeable criminal activity, a duty to not operate a vehicle when legally intoxicated thereby placing Plaintiff in danger and, ultimately, causing her to arrive at the location where she was sexually assaulted, and a duty to treat Plaintiff in a manner that would not subject her to physical or mental injury. Defendant Kreka breached each and every one of these duties as detailed in this Petition.
68. Defendants breached the duties it owed to Plaintiff thereby proximately causing Plaintiff’s injuries and the damages alleged herein.
COUNT 6: PREMISES LIABILITY
69. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 68 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
70. Plaintiff’s cause of action for Premises Liability is alleged against the Alter Ego Defendants, PPI, and Post Properties, only. Plaintiff reserves the right to supplement and amend this cause of action. As used in this cause of action, “Defendants” refers to the Alter Ego Defendants, PPI, and Post Properties.
71. The Alter Ego Defendants facilitated the assault and tortious conduct on Plaintiff through the use or misuse of the property—located at 4900 Edwin Lewis Drive, Addison, Texas 75001—owned, operated, controlled by, franchised by, licensed by, managed, leased, assigned, and/or otherwise possessed by the Alter Ego Defendants and, further, PPI and Post Properties facilitated the assault and tortious conduct on Plaintiff through the use or misuse of PPI’s Addison, Texas location that was owned, operated, controlled by, franchised by, licensed by, PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 16 OF 24 managed, leased, assigned, and/or otherwise possessed by PPI and Post Properties.
72. Defendants owed Plaintiff a duty to use the appropriate standard of care in protecting Plaintiff from unreasonable and reasonably foreseeable risks of harm (including criminal activity at its premises considering the history, frequency, proximity, regularity, publicity, and similarity of criminal conduct on or near the Alter Ego Defendants’ property) especially in light of Defendants’ status as landowner and/or innkeeper that possessed the ability to control the security and safety of the premise and its employees. Defendants had a duty to inspect and make safe any dangerous conditions or situations on its property or give Plaintiff an adequate warning of the dangerous conditions or situations; however, Defendants failed to do so.
73. Defendants breached the legal duties it owed Plaintiff thereby proximately causing Plaintiff’s damages alleged herein.
COUNT 7: DRAM SHOP LIABILITY
74. Plaintiff’s cause of action for Dram Shop Liability is alleged against Post Properties and Deari—in his capacity as registered agent, director, and president of PPI—, only. Further, Plaintiff alleges this cause of action in the alternative to Counts 4-6 against Post Properties. As used in this cause of action, “Dram Shop Defendants” refers to PPI, Deari, and Post Properties (in the alternative to Counts 4-6 against Post Properties). Plaintiff reserves the right to supplement and amend this cause of action.
75. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 74 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
76. On or about April 26, 2011, the Dram Shop Defendants held Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission licenses for the sale or service of alcoholic beverages and did, in fact, sell or serve multiple alcoholic beverages to Plaintiff who, at the time, was an 18 year-old “adult PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 17 OF 24 recipient” of said beverages. However, Dram Shop Defendants were not authorized to sell hard liquor at PPI’s Addison, Texas location.
77. To the extent that the Dram Shop Defendants did not hold Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission licenses for the sale or service of alcoholic beverages on or about April 26, 2011, Plaintiff alternatively alleges that the Dram Shop Defendants did not have said licenses yet still sold Plaintiff, an 18 year-old “adult receipt”, alcoholic beverages.
78. After the Dram Shop Defendants provided the alcoholic beverages to Plaintiff, it was apparent, or readily became apparent, to the Dram Shop Defendants that Plaintiff was obviously intoxicated.
79. Plaintiff’s intoxication—as a result of the Dram Shop Defendants’ acts or omissions—was one of the proximate causes of the injuries incurred and the damages alleged by Plaintiff herein.
COUNT 8: INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS [ALTERNATIVE REMEDY]
80. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 79 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
81. As an alternative remedy to Plaintiff’s claims detailed in this Petition at Section (VI)(Count 1—Count 7), Plaintiff alleges that no alternative cause of action would provide Plaintiff with a remedy for the severe emotional distress incurred by Plaintiff which was proximately caused by Defendants’ tortious conduct.
82. Plaintiff—an individual—was and is a victim of Defendants’ intentional or reckless actions that were calculated to cause severe emotional distress to Plaintiff.
83. Defendants’ intentional or reckless actions towards Plaintiff were extreme and outrageous and, ultimately, proximately caused Plaintiff to suffer severe emotional distress. PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 18 OF 24 COUNT 9: PARTICIPATORY LIABILITY—AIDING AND ABETTING AND CONCERT OF ACTION
84. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 83 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
85. Among the Defendants was a primary actor, or primary actors, who committed an underlying tort, or torts, against Plaintiff. Defendants had knowledge that the primary actor’s conduct constituted a tort and Defendants gave the primary actor assistance, substantial assistance, and/or encouragement to commit the tort against Plaintiff. Defendants’ assistance, substantial assistance, and/or encouragement was a substantial factor in causing the tort to be completed and a substantial factor in the damages incurred by Plaintiff as alleged herein.
86. Alternatively, Defendants’ own conduct—separate and apart from the primary actor—was a breach of duty to Plaintiff and a substantial factor in causing Plaintiff’s injuries.
87. Due to Defendants’ joint assistance, encouragement, aiding and abetting, and/or concert of action, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants should be held jointly and severally responsible for the whole of damages incurred by Plaintiff.
COUNT 10: PARTICIPATORY LIABILITY—CONSPIRACY
88. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 87 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
89. As fully described in this Petition, Defendants are, and were, individuals or individual entities that acted together as a combination of two or more individuals or entities.
90. Throughout Defendants’ interactions with Plaintiff on or about April 26, 2011, the object of Defendants’ combination was to accomplish an unlawful purpose and/or a lawful purpose by unlawful means.
91. Defendants had a meeting of the minds on the object or course of action of its PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 19 OF 24 conspiracy, and at least one Defendant committed an unlawful, overt act in furtherance of Defendants’ object or course of action.
92. Plaintiff suffered the damages alleged herein as a proximate result of Defendants’ wrongful act or acts.
COUNT 11: EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
93. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 92 of Plaintiff’s Original Petition.
94. Defendants’ tortious conduct was malicious, fraudulent, and/or grossly negligent. 95. Defendants’ malicious, fraudulent, and/or grossly negligent was carried out by
Defendants personally, through Defendants’ authorized agents, managers, officers, directors, vice-principals, and/or principals of the Defendants who were acting within the course and scope of their agency, employment, partnership, and/or joint venture. Alternatively, Defendants’ malicious, fraudulent, and/or grossly negligent conduct was subsequently approved by or ratified by Defendants.
96. Defendants intentionally breached the legal duties it owed Plaintiff such that it could take undue advantage of Plaintiff and/or otherwise maliciously treat Plaintiff. The acts or omissions of Defendants, when viewed objectively from the Defendants’ standpoint, involved an extreme degree of risk when considering the probability and magnitude of the potential harm to Plaintiff and others.
97. Additionally, Defendants had actual, subjective awareness of the risk to Plaintiff and others but proceeded anyway with a conscience indifference to the rights, safety, or welfare of Plaintiff and others.
98. Defendants’ conduct was performed and/or designed with a specific intent to PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 20 OF 24 cause substantial injury or harm to Plaintiff. As alleged herein, Defendants’ conduct is an example of why punitive damages exist, and Plaintiff alleges that Defendants’ conduct rises to the level warranting the imposition of exemplary damages against Defendants at trial.
VII. DAMAGES
99. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 1 through 98 of Plaintiff’s Petition.
100. Plaintiff has incurred significant damages due to Defendants' criminal, tortious, and outrageous conduct. Plaintiff seeks all losses sustained as a natural, probable, foreseeable, and/or proximate result of Defendants' wrongful conduct, including:
a. General damages; b. Actual damages; c. Physical pain and suffering incurred in the past and future; d. Mental anguish incurred in the past and future; e.

PLAINTIFF’S THIRD AMENDED PETITION PAGE 21 OF 24
n. Post-judgment interest; and o. All other relief, in law and in equity, to which Plaintiff may be justly entitled.

Defendants.
DEFENDANTS' SECOND A M E N D E D ANSWER TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
N O W COME Defendants, POST ADDISON CIRCLE L I M I T E D PARTNERSHIP and POST PROPERTIES, INC. (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Defendants") file this their Second Amended Answer to Plaintiffs Petition, and would respectfully show the Court as follows:
I. GENERAL DENIAL Defendants, POST ADDISON CIRCLE L I M I T E D PARTNERSHIP and POST PROPERTIES, INC., assert a general denial as authorized by Rule 9 2 o f the T E X A S R U L E S O F CIVIL PROCEDURE, and Defendants respectfully request that Plaintiff be required to prove the DEFENDANTS' SECOND AMENDED ANSWER PAGE 1 1938033 08463.016 charges and allegations made against POST ADDISON CIRCLE L I M I T E D PARTNERSHIP and POST PROPERTIES, INC. by a preponderance o f the evidence as is required by the Constitution and Laws of the State of Texas.
II. AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES Defendants specifically plead that on the occasion i n question. Jane Doe failed to exercise ordinary care for her own safety and, such failure constitutes negligence which was a proximate, producing, contributing, or sole proximate cause of the alleged damages, i f any, Plaintiff alleges to have suffered.
Defendants specifically plead that Plaintiffs claims are barred in whole or in part, or should be reduced, due to the negligence and comparative responsibility of Jane Doe.
Defendants specifically plead that Plaintiffs alleged damages are the result of an intervening, superseding, or new and independent cause for which these Defendants have no responsibility.
Defendants specifically plead that Plaintiff failed to mitigate her damages, i f any. Defendants plead that any injuries, damages, or disabilities claimed or complained of by
Plaintiff are the result, in whole or i n part, of pre-existing conditions or disabilities.
Defendants specifically plead that pursuant to Civ. Prac. Rem. Code § 4 1 . 0 1 0 5 , in addition to any other limitation under law, recovery o f medical or health care expenses incurred is limited to the amount actually paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Plaintiff.
Pursuant to § 18.091 of the T E X A S C I V I L P R A C T I C E & R E M E D I E S C O D E , to the extent that the Plaintiff seeks recovery for loss o f earnings and/or loss of earning capacity, then the Defendants would show that the Plaintiff must present evidence to prove the loss in the form of a DEFENDANTS' SECOND AMENDED ANSWER PAGE 2 1938033 08463,016 net loss after reduction for income tax payments or unpaid tax liability pursuant to any federal income tax law.
Defendants invoke their statutory and common law rights to contribution, indemnity and/or proportionate responsibility, including, but not limited to that under Chapters 32 and 33 of the Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code against all co-Defendants. In the unlikely event that one or more Defendants is found liable or settles with Plaintiff, Defendants pray for judgment for contribution, indemnity, offset, credit, and/or proportionate responsibility from any and all such co-Defendants.
Defendants specifically plead that Defendant Post Properties, Inc. can not be held liable in the capacity that it has been sued.
Defendants further plead that they cannot be liable under the Texas Dram Shop Act as they are not "providers" pursuant to T . A . B . C §2.03, 2.01.
Defendants plead that there can be no award o f exemplary damages against Defendants because of the criminal acts o f another pursuant to § 41.005 o f the T E X A S C I V I L P R A C T I C E & REMEDIES CODE.
By way of further affirmative defense, Defendants would show that the claims made against them for exemplary and/or punitive damages are in violation of the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and Article 1, Sections 3 and 19 of the Texas Constitution, in that such claims made are arbitrary, unreasonable and in violation of Defendants' right to due process of law and equal protection of law.
Defendants specifically deny that Plaintiff is entitled to recover punitive or exemplary damages herein on the grounds that the imposition of punitive damages as sought by Plaintiff would be fundamentally unfair and Defendants would show that no legal basis or facts are DEFENDANTS' SECOND AMENDED ANSWER PAGE 3 1938033 08463.016 alleged that would allow punitive damages against Defendants herein; and i f not dismissed Defendants request a bifurcated trial on this issue.
Defendants deny that they are liable to Plaintiff for any amount of money whatsoever and challenge the allegations of punitive damages as wholly unjustified and unconstitutional, and further says that in any event, the recovery of exemplary damages herein is limited by law, pursuant to Section 41.001, et. seq., as contained in Chapter 41 of the Texas Civil Practices & Remedies Code.
III. CROSS-CLAIM
In her petition, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants Ajredin "Danny" Deari ("Deari") and Dritan Kreka ("Kreka") served her alcohol at Pastazio's Pizza and that subsequently, Deari sexually assaulted Plaintiff and that Kreka aided and abetted Deari. Based on Plaintiffs allegations, Defendants Cross-Claim against Defendants Ajredin "Danny" Deari and Dritan Kreka for statutory and common law contribution, including, but not limited to, contribution under Chapters 32 and 33 of the Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code.
In the unlikely event that Defendants are held liable, Defendants POST A D D I S O N CIRCLE L I M I T E D PARTNERSHIP and POST PROPERTIES, INC. assert that they are entitled to contribution from Deari and Kreka by reason of their negligence and/or intentional acts. Furthermore, Defendants specifically assert that the negligence and/or intentional conduct of Deari and Kreka was a sole and proximate cause or the producing cause of any damages to Plaintiff.
Finally, while Deari and Kreka are currently Defendants to the present suit, Defendants request that the jury be allowed to assess a percentage of responsibility to Deari and Kreka DEFENDANTS' SECOND AMENDED ANSWER PAGE 4 1938033 08463.016 pursuant, to TEX. Civ. PRAC. & R E M . C O D E ANN. § 33.003(4) i f they are not parties to this lawsuit at the time of trial.
IV. PRAYER WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendants, POST ADDISON CIRCLE
L I M I T E D PARTNERSHIP and POST PROPERTIES, INC. pray that Plaintiff recover nothing of and from these Defendants, and that they receive all costs of Court and such other and further relief, both at law and in equity, to which they may show themselves to be justly entitled.

DEFENDANT ISLAND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC.’S
MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE
Defendant Island Hospitality Management, Inc. (“Defendant”) files this Motion to Examine Plaintiff Jane Doe, as follows:
I. Background
1. Plaintiff has sued Defendant for, among other things, mental anguish and psychological- related damages are a result of an alleged sexual assault.
2. In support of her claims, Plaintiff retained a psychologist as a testifying expert, Dr.
William Flynn.
3. Dr. Flynn was deposed on December 19, 2014. At the deposition, Dr. Flynn testified that he conducted a psychological examination of Plaintiff, and that his opinions were based upon and in reliance upon the examination. Dr. Flynn has produced records from the psychological examination.
DEFENDANT ISLAND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC.’S MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 1 Document #132535
4. On January 16, 2015, Defendant designated Dr. Lisa Clayton as a testifying expert, to testify in response to Dr. Flynn. Dr. Clayton has requested that she, like Dr. Flynn, be able to examine Plaintiff to develop her expert opinions.
5. On January 21, 2015, after a hearing on a Motion to Compel the Deposition of John
Harris, Plaintiff’s security expert, Defendant asked Plaintiff for dates on which Dr. Clayton could examine Plaintiff. Plaintiff’s counsel seemed opposed to the request, but did not give a definitive answer.
6. After that date and after additional requests, Plaintiff’s counsel has refused to make
Plaintiff available for an examination by Dr. Clayton. Plaintiff is taking the position that discovery closed on June, 9, 2014. Plaintiff’s position is inconsistent with the fact that (a) Plaintiff’s expert Dr. Flynn examined Plaintiff in August 2014, after the alleged close of discovery, (b) the Court has ruled that certain expert discovery and designation periods are ongoing, given the circumstances of the case, including the deposition of Plaintiff’s expert John Harris (now scheduled for March), (c) Defendant’s designation of Dr. Clayton was not due until January 18, 2015, and (d) Plaintiff’s made a request in January 2015 under Rule 196 to inspect the hotel premises, and Plaintiff conducted that discovery on February 4, 2015.
II. Arguments and Authorities
7. The court may order the mental examination of a party or person under the party’s control if the movant shows good cause and any of the following:
a. The party’s mental condition is in controversy (Tex. R. Civ. P. 204.1(c)(1)); b. The party has designated a psychologist as a testifying expert (Tex. R. Civ. P.
204.1(c)(2)); or DEFENDANT ISLAND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC.’S MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 2 Document #132535
c. The party has disclosed a psychologist’s records for possible use at trial (Tex. R.
Civ. P. 204.1(c)(2)).
8. Here, there is good cause for the Court to order the psychological examination of Plaintiff because the examination is relevant to the case. Coates v. Whittington, 758 S.W.2d 749, 753 (Tex. 1988). Specifically:
a. Plaintiff has a claim in controversy for mental anguish; b. Plaintiff has designated a psychologist as a testifying expert; c. Plaintiff has disclosed psychology records for possible use at trial; and d. Plaintiff’s testifying psychologist expert was afforded an opportunity to conduct a mental examination and, thus, Plaintiff would have an unfair advantage and Defendant would be prejudiced if Defendant’s expert did not have the same opportunity as Plaintiff’s expert. It is not possible for Defendant to obtain the information that would result from the examination through less intrusive means. Coates, 758 S.W.2d at 753.
9. Plaintiff’s position that discovery is closed is inconsistent with the following:
(a) Plaintiff’s expert Dr. Flynn examined Plaintiff in August 2014, after the alleged close of discovery, (b) the Court has ruled that certain expert discovery and designation periods are ongoing, given the circumstances of the case, including the deposition of Plaintiff’s expert John Harris (now scheduled for March), (c) Defendant’s designation of Dr. Clayton was not due until January 18, 2015, and (d) Plaintiff’s made a request in January 2015 under Rule 196 to inspect the hotel premises, and Plaintiff conducted that discovery on February 4, 2015.

§ Defendants. § DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT ISLAND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC.’S MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE COMES NOW Plaintiff Jane Doe (“Plaintiff”) and files this Response to Defendant Island Hospitality Management, Inc.’s Motion to Examine Plaintiff Jane Doe (“Motion”) and would respectfully show this Court the following:
I. SUMMARY OF RESPONSE
1. Defendant IHM seeks to have the Court issue an order requiring Plaintiff to submit to an unspecified “psychological” examination with its untimely designated expert, Dr. Lisa Clayton. Defendant IHM’s Motion must be denied because it does not comply with multiple provisions set forth in Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 204.1. Defendant IHM’s Motion ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT IHM’S MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF Page 1 of 9 was filed after the applicable discovery deadline and almost nine months after the deadline set forth under Rule 204.1.
2. More importantly, Defendant IHM’s Motion fails to establish good cause as to why Plaintiff should be subjected to a second mental examination when Defendant IHM admittedly has the objective “raw data” it needs to provide to its untimely designated expert. This accomplishes nothing, other than to needlessly subject Plaintiff to reliving the nightmare that she encountered when she was raped at the age of eighteen.
3. Not only is Defendant IHM’s Motion untimely, it fails to specify the scope of the requested “psychological” examination, how it is to be conducted, and how it would be any different from the objective data Defendant IHM already has in its possession from the first examination. By not even specifying the examination that Defendant IHM is requesting, the Court cannot enter an order compliant with Rule 204.1(d). For these reasons, Defendant IHM’s Motion must be denied.
II. BACKGROUND
4. On April 26, 2011, Plaintiff was raped by Defendant Deari at the Hyatt House Hotel and contracted the incurable sexually transmitted disease of herpes. The Hyatt House Hotel is operated and managed by Defendant IHM. Plaintiff was eighteen years old at the time.
5. Plaintiff brought this lawsuit against Defendant IHM, Defendant Deari, and others on April 24, 2013.1 In her Original Petition, Plaintiff alleged that, as a result of being raped and given herpes, she suffered “extreme emotional distress, pain and suffering, and mental anguish as the sexual assault is constantly replayed in her mind and the aftermath displayed on her body.” 2 Plaintiff sought in her Original Petition recovery for “mental anguish incurred in the past and future.”3 That claim has not changed since the day it was brought nearly two years ago.
6. On January 10, 2014 the Court entered its Standing Scheduling Order. 4 The Scheduling Order closed discovery on June 9, 2014 and required Defendant IHM to designate its experts by April 30, 2014. Defendant IHM’s deadline to designate its experts was then extended to May 31, 2014 by agreement among the parties.5
7. On April 30, 2014, Plaintiff timely served its Rule 194.2(f) Expert Witness Designations to Defendant IHM.6 In Plaintiff’s Expert Designations, Plaintiff disclosed Dr. William E. Flynn, Ph.D.—a licensed forensic and clinical psychologist.7 On May 20, 2014, Plaintiff informed Defendant IHM that Dr. Flynn was free to be deposed at a time that was convenient for Defendants.8 Defendant IHM chose not to take Dr. Flynn’s deposition until December 19, 2014—seven months after Plaintiff made Dr. Flynn available.
8. On September 30, 2014, the Court entered an order resetting the trial date to March 24, 2015 because of the automatic stay invoked by Defendant Deari’s filing of bankruptcy.9 This order did not extend the discovery deadline or any other deadlines in the case. On February 24, 2015, the Court issued its Notice of Trial Announcement for July 7, 2015.10 The Notice explicitly states that the deadlines in the Court’s Standing Scheduling Order remain in place and are not changed because the trial date has been extended. Id. Id. ¶ 84.

Id. at pp. 11-12.
See Correspondence from Trey Crawford (July 3, 2014), Exhibit 5.
Order Resetting Trial Date, Exhibit 6.
Notice of Trial Announcement, Exhibit 7.
9. Defendant IHM did not disclose any expert in this case until January 16, 2015— approximately 9 months after Dr. Flynn was designated and 8 months after the parties’ agreed deadline. Even then, Defendant IHM did not file this Motion until February 6, 2015—nearly two years after Defendant IHM was made aware of Plaintiff’s claim for mental anguish caused by the rape.
10. Now, less than 4 months before trial, Defendant IHM seeks to put Plaintiff through an unspecified “psychological” examination that undoubtedly will be highly-invasive and duplicative of the “raw data” that was collected from her first examination. Defendant IHM’s Motion states nothing of substance that will be gained by putting Plaintiff through such a procedure. Defendant IHM’s Motion is untimely and lacks a showing of “good cause,” and thus must be denied as a matter of law.
III. LEGAL ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITY
11. Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 204.1 does not grant Defendant IHM an automatic right to obtain a physical or mental examination of Plaintiff. In order to conduct a mental examination, a movant must establish a greater showing of need than to obtain other kinds of discovery.11
12. Rule 204.1, by its express language, places an affirmative burden on the movant to show the requested examination’s relevance and the movant must demonstrate “good cause” for such an examination.12 In the absence of the movant establishing both prongs, a trial court
See In re Ten Hagen Excavating, Inc., 435 S.W.3d 859 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2014, no pet.) (relying on Schlagenhauf v. Holder, 379 U.S. 104 (1964) (federal rule is substantially similar to the Rule 204.1)).
Coates v. Whittington, 758 S.W.2d 749, 751 (Tex. 1988). cannot order an examination pursuant to Rule 204.1.13 The movant’s request must also be timely made in order for a court to consider it.
A. Defendant IHM’s Motion is Untimely.
13. Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 204.1(a) requires a party seeking to compel a mental examination of another party to file its application “no later than thirty days before the end of the applicable discovery deadline.” When determining the “applicable discovery deadline,” the Dallas Court of Appeals has held that requests for mental examinations are a form of discovery under Rule 192.1.14
14. The Court’s Standing Scheduling Order set the applicable discovery deadline as June 9, 2014. Pursuant to Rule 204.1(a), Defendant IHM was required to file its Motion no later than May 10, 2014.
15. Defendant IHM has been aware of Plaintiff’s claim of mental anguish since the day she filed her Original Petition—approximately two years ago. Plaintiff’s Original Petition put Defendant IHM on notice that she was seeking damages for the significant mental and emotional trauma caused by being raped and given herpes when she eighteen.
16. Moreover, Plaintiff designated Dr. William Flynn on April 30, 2014 to testify about the “psychological, medical, behavioral, educational, physiological, vocational, and social trauma” that a victim of a sexual assault can experience, including Plaintiff.15
17. Despite being on notice of Plaintiff’s mental anguish claim since the inception of this lawsuit, Defendant IHM’s first formal request to examine Plaintiff was not until February 6, 2015. This is nearly two years after being made aware of the claim; almost a year after Dr. Flynn
Id. See In re Ten Hagen Excavating, Inc., 435 S.W.3d at 866 (Tex. App. – Dallas ; see also In re Valero Energy Corp., 2011 WL 579154, at *1 (Tex. App.—Beaumont Feb. 18, 2011, no pet.) (court denied examination request one month after the discovery deadline); TEX. R. CIV. PRO. 192.1(g).
See Exhibit 4 at 11-12. was designated; and almost 9 months after Defendant IHM’s deadline to request an examination under Rule 204.1. Defendant IHM has no excuse for this delay. For this reason alone, Defendant IHM’s Motion should be denied.
B. Defendant IHM Has Not Satisfied its Burden to Prove Good Cause. 18. Even if the Court finds that Defendant IHM’s Motion was timely, Defendant
IHM’s Motion fails to establish good cause to obtain an order from the Court for a “psychological” examination of Plaintiff. Thus, Defendant IHM’s Motion must be denied.16
19. The Texas Supreme Court acknowledges that mental medical examinations are subject to a more rigorous standard due to their sensitive nature.17 Under Rule 204.1, it is the movant’s burden to affirmatively show “good cause” to obtain a medical examination.18 “Good cause” requires an affirmative showing of three things: (1) the examination is relevant to issues that are genuinely in controversy in the case; (2) a reasonable nexus exists between the condition in controversy and the examination sought; and (3) it is not possible to obtain the desired information through means that are less intrusive than a compelled examination.19
20. These requirements may not be met with “conclusory allegations” in the movant’s pleading.20 Moreover, “good cause” is not presumed merely because Plaintiff has retained a psychologist to testify as an expert regarding Plaintiff’s mental condition.21 Texas courts have repeatedly refused to permit medical examinations when good cause is not shown.22 Here, Defendant IHM has failed to show good cause with any evidence to meet its burden.
Coates v. Whittington, 758 S.W.2d 749, 751-52 (Tex. 1988) (a movant’s showing of good cause is mandatory). Id. at 752 (“Plaintiffs should not be subjected to public revelations of the most personal aspects of their private lives just because they seek compensation for mental anguish associated with an injury.”).

Bell Hot Shot Co., 2014 WL 260116, at *2 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Jan. 9, 2014, no pet.) (The trial court
1. Defendant IHM already has the information that it seeks.
21. Defendant IHM cannot establish good cause because it has not shown that it cannot obtain the desired information through a less intrusive means. Plaintiff has already undergone a thorough mental health examination focusing on the sexual assault and the impact on her overall well-being before and after the assault.
22. Plaintiff’s psychologist, Dr. William Flynn, administered four separate objective tests to Plaintiff: 1) the Clinically-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-IV, the gold standard in PTSD assessment; 2) a Personality Assessment Inventory, an objective inventory of adult personality that assesses psychopathological syndromes and provides information relevant for clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and screening for psychopathology; 3) the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, a diagnostic exam used to determine DSM-IV Axis I disorders (mental disorders); and 4) the Beck Depression Inventory I-II, one of the most commonly used instruments for measuring severity of depression.
23. The results of these tests generate “raw data” which is then reviewed and analyzed by the medical professional. All of the “raw data” from these standardized tests have been provided to Defendant IHM to conduct its own analysis.23 In re Transwestern explicitly states that “‘good cause’ is not assumed merely because a psychologist has been appointed to testify as an expert regarding the subject's mental condition.”24
24. There is no added benefit of having Plaintiff fill out the examination booklets a second time when the raw data is already available by less intrusive means. Defendant IHM has the burden of showing the Court that “it is not possible to obtain the desired information through did not abuse its discretion by determining that the relators have not shown good cause for an independent psychological evaluation); In re Click, 442 S.W.3d 487, 492 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2014, no pet.) (no good cause).
See Correspondence between David Denton and Trey Crawford, Exhibit 8.
96 S.W.3d at 506. means that are less intrusive than a compelled exam.”25 Defendant IHM’s conclusory assertion that there is good cause is legally irrelevant. They must provide evidence making a showing of “good cause.” No such showing has been made. Thus, the Court must deny the Motion.26
2. Defendant IHM fails to establish the required nexus between the mental examination sought and the condition in controversy.
25. Defendant IHM’s Motion lacks any specificity as to the mental examination it is asking the Court to Order. Defendant IHM’s Motion fails to specify the scope of the requested examination of Plaintiff, how it is to be conducted, and how it would be any different from the objective raw data Defendant IHM already has from the first examination.
26. By not specifying the examination that Defendant IHM is requesting, the Court cannot enter an order that would be compliant with the specificity requirements set forth in Rule 204.1(d). Thus, Defendant IHM has failed to make a showing that there is “a reasonable nexus between the condition in controversy and the examination sought.”27 Without such a showing, “good cause” cannot be established as a matter of law.
27. Allowing Defendant IHM to conduct a second examination of Plaintiff would be duplicative and invasive. Given the traumatic event that took place and the understandable anxiety associated with discussing or “reliving” such an event, a mental examination would be overly intrusive to Plaintiff and provide no substantive benefit. In light of Defendant IHM’s failure to assert and prove good cause sufficient for a Rule 204.1 motion to compel, Defendant IHM’s Motion must be denied.
See In re Click, 442 S.W.3d at 491.
In re Caballero, 36 S.W.3d 143, 145 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2000, no pet.) (trial court abused its discretion in ordering medical examination after good cause was not established).
See In re Click, 442 S.W.3d at 491.

PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 2 OF 19
9. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff alleges that, at all material times, all Defendants were the agents, servants, employees, partners, authorized agents and/or joint venturers of every other Defendant and the acts of each Defendant were within the course and scope of the agency, employment, partnership, and/or joint venture such that each Defendant is jointly and severally liable for the damages alleged by Plaintiff herein.
III. JURISDICTION
10. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this lawsuit because the amount in controversy exceeds the minimum jurisdictional requirements.
11. In accordance with TEx. R. Civ. P. 47, Plaintiff seeks monetary relief in excess of $1,000,000.00 due to Defendants' tortious conduct.
12. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant Deari and Defendant Kreka because said Defendants (1) are individuals and residents of the State of Texas, (2) transact business within the State of Texas, (3) maintain continuous and systematic contacts with the State of Texas, (4) purposefully avails themselves to the laws of the State of Texas, and (5) a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff's claims occurred in Texas and involved Defendant Dean and Defendant Kreka.
13. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant Pastazios because said Defendant (1) is a Texas corporation that maintains its principal place of business in Texas, (2) transacts business within the State of Texas, (3) maintains continuous and systematic contacts with the State of Texas, (4) purposefully avails itself to the laws of the State of Texas, and (5) a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff's claims occurred in Texas and involved Defendant Pastazios.
14. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant Island Hospitality because (1) PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 3 OF 19 it transacts business within the State of Texas, (2) it has continuous and systematic contacts with the State of Texas, (3) it maintains multiple offices in Texas, owns property in Texas, and maintains bank accounts (used for the purpose of transacting business within the State of Texas and elsewhere) within the State of Texas, (4) it purposefully avails itself to the laws of the State of Texas, and (5) a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff's claims occurred in Texas and involved Defendant Island Hospitality.
15. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant Hyatt because (1) it transacts business within the State of Texas, (2) it has continuous and systematic contacts with the State of Texas, (3) it maintains multiple offices and bank accounts (used for the purpose of transacting business within the State of Texas and elsewhere) within the State of Texas, (4) it purposefully avails itself to the laws of the State of Texas, and (5) a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff's claims occurred in Texas and involved Defendant Hyatt.
16. Removal of this case to a federal court is inappropriate and statutorily unauthorized because (1) complete diversity of parties is lacking, (2) at least one Defendant is a forum-state defendant by virtue of its Texas incorporation and/or principal place of business being in Texas, and (3) Plaintiff has not alleged a federal question, federal cause of action, or alleged facts that would give rise to a federal question or federal cause of action; therefore, any attempt to remove this case to a federal court is frivolous and gives rise to sanctionable conduct.
IV. VENUE
17. Pursuant to TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 15.002(a), venue is proper in Dallas County, Texas because (1) all or a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff's claims occurred in Dallas County, Texas, and (2) some or all of the Defendants resided in Dallas County, Texas at the time Plaintiff's causes of action accrued. PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 4 OF 19
18. Pursuant to TEx. Civ. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 15.005, because venue is proper in Dallas County, Texas against at least one Defendant, venue is proper in Dallas County, Texas as to all Defendants.
V. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
19. In early 2011, Plaintiff was 18 years old and a recent graduate from high school. Plaintiff excelled in school academically, graduating as the valedictorian of her class.
20. Like many young adults, Plaintiff was in search of an entry-level job at a local business in order to earn disposable income and garner working experience. During her search, Plaintiff was introduced to Defendant Dead and Defendant Kreka. Plaintiff was told that Deari and Kreka were the owners of two local bar/restaurants, and would be willing to meet with her to discuss potential employment opportunities.
21. On or about April 26, 2011, Plaintiff met Deari and Kreka at a restaurant in Dallas, Texas. Deari asked Plaintiff how old she was and Plaintiff informed both men that she was 18 years old. At the time, Defendant Deari was approximately 49 years old and Defendant Kreka was approximately 33 years old. The two Defendants subsequently tried to order Plaintiff an alcoholic beverage; however, the restaurant's server refused to bring the beverage because Plaintiff was underage.
22. Undeterred, the two Defendants decided that it would be easiest to order Plaintiff beverages at "Pastazios's Pizza" in Addison, Texas. On information and belief, Plaintiff alleges that "Pastazios's Pizza" is the assumed name of Defendant Pastazios and, additionally, the alter ego of Defendant Deari who holds himself out to the public and Texas Secretary of State as the registered agent, director, and president of Pastazios.
23. As planned, Defendant Deari and Defendant Kreka convinced Plaintiff to drive to PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 5 or 19 Pastazios. Prior to their arrival, Defendants purchased hard liquor from a store with the intention of serving the alcohol to Plaintiff.
24. Upon arrival at Pastazios, Defendants Kreka, Deari, and Pastazios (through its employees, director, and president) began serving, selling, retrieving, and otherwise giving Plaintiff multiple "shots" of hard liquor and servings of beer. Defendants repeatedly and aggressively pressured Plaintiff into consuming—and Plaintiff, indeed, consumed—these beverages despite Defendants' knowledge that Plaintiff was not of the legal age to drink. Just as Defendants Deari, Kreka, and Pastazios planned, Plaintiff became intoxicated and she was, in fact, obviously intoxicated.
25. After Plaintiff had consumed multiple shots of hard liquor and servings of beer that Defendants served, sold, retrieved, and otherwise gave to Plaintiff, Deari and Kreka decided that their next stop should be a local adult entertainment dance club. Deari retrieved his vehicle from Pastazios's parking lot and told Kreka and Plaintiff to get into the vehicle. Kreka moved into the driver's seat and Plaintiff, who was highly intoxicated, sat in the back of the vehicle. Plaintiff then lost consciousness.
26. Plaintiff's next memory is vomiting in a gas station parking lot before losing consciousness again. Shortly thereafter, Plaintiff awoke in a hotel room located 4900 Edwin Lewis Drive, Addison, Texas 75001—a premise that is owned, operated, and otherwise possessed by Island Hospitality and Hyatt (hereinafter, "the Premises Defendants")—wherein she had been involuntarily disrobed and was actively being raped by Defendant Deari.
27. Plaintiff repeatedly insisted that Defendant Deari stop the attack, but he did not. It was only after Plaintiff made multiple demands for Defendant Deari to stop did the sexual assault eventually end. Fearful of another attack, Plaintiff locked herself in the bathroom. PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 6 OF 19
28. While still in the hotel room, Defendant Deari called Defendant Kreka on the telephone and told him that Plaintiff was "really freaking out, dude", and asked for Kreka to retrieve him from the Premises Defendants' property. With the knowledge that a sexual assault had just occurred (one in which Defendant Kreka conspired to commit, facilitated, aided, and abetted), Kreka retrieved Deari from the crime scene (unimpeded by the Premises Defendants) thereby assisting Deari's evasion of law enforcement.
29. Plaintiff alleges that the Premises Defendants knew, or reasonably should have known, of the reasonably foreseeable, unreasonable risks of harm from criminal activity at its premises to Plaintiff taking into account the history, frequency, proximity, regularity, publicity, and similarity of criminal conduct on or near the Premises Defendants' property. The Premises Defendants allowed Defendant Deari and Defendant Kreka to reserve a room at its hotel, enter it with an unconscious 18 year-old woman, rape her, and come and go from its property in an unimpeded fashion such that Defendants could evade a police investigation without resistance.
30. After the attack on Plaintiff ceased and Deari and Kreka left the Premises Defendants' property, a friend of Plaintiff's arrived at the hotel to help. After learning what happened, the friend immediately notified the Addison Police Department. While investigating the crime scene, Defendant Deari came back to the hotel (presumably to retrieve the underwear he left, which was taken into evidence by the police department), and Deari was arrested, charged with the crime of sexual assault, indicted, and has a criminal trial pending. At this point in time, Defendant Kreka has not been charged for the crimes he aided, abetted, facilitated, and conspired to commit.
31. Plaintiff was immediately transmitted to the hospital and underwent a series of examinations, tests, and administered massive quantities of treatments for the injuries she PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 7 OF 19 incurred during the rape.
32. Within a matter of days following the sexual assault, Plaintiff went back to the hospital after she experienced severe pain in her pubic region. Upon information and belief, the doctors informed Plaintiff that she had contracted herpes, an incurable sexually-transmitted disease, during the rape. The doctors conducted a blood test on Plaintiff wherein the specific strand of herpes was identified. It has recently been discovered that the results of a mandatory blood/sexually-transmitted disease test ordered by the Court in "The State of Texas v. Danny Demi" has confirmed that Plaintiff's attacker, (who did not utilize latex contraception during the attack), Defendant Deari, is infected with the same derivation of the herpes virus.
33. As a proximate result of the criminal, despicable, extreme, outrageous, and tortious acts of Defendants alleged herein, Plaintiff has foreseeably suffered through, and will continue to suffer through, extreme emotional distress, pain and suffering, and mental anguish as the sexual assault is constantly replayed in her mind and the aftermath displayed on her body.

VI. CAUSES OF ACTION
COUNT 1: ASSAULT — THREAT OF BODILY INJURY
34. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 33 of Plaintiff's Petition.
35. On or about April 26, 2011, Defendants intentionally or knowingly threatened 2See U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, NATIONAL VITAL STATISTICS REPORTS Vol. 61, No.3, September 24, 2012 at 20.
PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 8 OF 19 Plaintiff with imminent bodily injury. Defendants' threat of imminent bodily injury caused Plaintiff to be apprehensive, which was a foreseeable result of Defendants' actions.
36. Each and every Defendant is liable for the threat of bodily injury committed against Plaintiff because each and every Defendant participated in the tortious act themselves or, alternatively, assisted the tortious act against Plaintiff in furtherance of the civil conspiracy to do so or, alternatively, aided and abetted each other to allow the ultimate threat of bodily injury against Plaintiff to take place.
37. Defendants' threat of imminent bodily injury to Plaintiff was a cause of the damages alleged herein.
COUNT 2: ASSAULT (BATTERY) —BODILY INJURY AND OFFENSIVE CONTACT
38. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 37 of Plaintiff's Petition.
39. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, the statutory language of TEx. PENAL CODE § 22.011 describing the felony of "Sexual Assault". Plaintiff alleges that Plaintiff was the victim of the crime, Sexual Assault, which Defendants committed against Plaintiff (as described in TEX. PENAL CODE § 22.011(a),(b),(0) on or about April 26, 2011, and that the sexual assault has caused Plaintiff's damages alleged herein.
40. Defendants intentionally, knowingly, and/or recklessly made physical contact with Plaintiff's person causing bodily injury—that is, physical pain, illness, or impairments of Plaintiff's physical condition—and Plaintiff did not, and could not, consent to the harmful physical contact.
41. Alternatively, Defendants intentionally or knowingly caused to be made physical contact with Plaintiff when Defendants knew, or reasonably should have believed, that Plaintiff PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 9 OF 19 would regard the contact as offensive or provocative. Indeed, said physical contact was offensive, provocative, and committed by Defendants despite never having consent from Plaintiff.
42. As a causal result of Defendants' battery of Plaintiff's person, Plaintiff suffered immediate, consequential, and subsequent injuries—including pain, illness, and physical impairment that were foreseeable to Defendants. The assault committed by Defendants on Plaintiff's person was a cause of the damages alleged by Plaintiff herein.
43. Each and every Defendant is liable for the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault of which Plaintiff is a victim because each and every Defendant participated in the tortious and felonious acts themselves or, alternatively, assisted the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault against Plaintiff in furtherance of the civil conspiracy to do so or, alternatively, aided and abetted the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault by providing intoxicating substances to Plaintiff, a mode of transportation for the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault to occur, and/or a location—which was foreseeably unsafe and unreasonably dangerous for the crimes, assault, battery, and sexual assault to take place.
44. In addition to committing, conspiring to commit, or aiding and abetting assault, battery, and/or sexual assault against Plaintiff, the investigation is still ongoing as to whether or not Defendants individually—or collectively in furtherance of a conspiracy and/or whilst aiding and abetting each other should be charged with, criminally prosecuted for, and civilly held liable for the felony of "Aggravated Sexual Assault", as defined by TEX. PENAL CODE § 22.021 and fully incorporated by reference herein.
COUNT 3: SEXUAL ASSAULT—TEX. PENAL CODE § 22.01
45. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 10 OF 19 through 44 of Plaintiff's Petition.
COUNT 4: FALSE IMPRISONMENT
46. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 45 of Plaintiffs Petition.
47. Without legal authority or justification, Defendants willfully detained or participated in the detainment of Plaintiff without Plaintiffs consent. Defendants accomplished the unlawful detainment of Plaintiff with violence, threats that were calculated to inspire—and, in fact, inspired—a reasonable fear of injury to Plaintiff, intoxicating substances, and/or other means that were intended to cause—and, in fact, caused—Plaintiff to be unable to exercise her will in going anywhere she was lawfully allowed to go. Said false imprisonment took place at the hotel owned and operated by the Premises Defendants.
48. The false imprisonment committed by Defendants against Plaintiff was a proximate cause of the damages alleged by Plaintiff herein.
COUNT 5: NEGLIGENCE
49. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 48 of Plaintiff's Original Petition.
50. Defendants owed Plaintiff legal duties that Defendants breached thereby proximately causing Plaintiffs damages.
51. For example, Defendants Pastazios and Deari—as the individual who holds himself out as the registered agent, director, and president of Pastazios—had a duty to control its employees, a duty to supervise its employee's activities, a duty to prevent an employee from causing an unreasonable risk of harm to Plaintiff, a duty to use ordinary care in hiring and retaining its employees, a duty to not place Plaintiff in harm's way of foreseeable criminal PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 11 OF 19 activity, and a duty to treat Plaintiff in a manner that would not subject her to physical or mental injury. Said Defendants breached those duties it owed Plaintiff by, amongst other things, negligently providing intoxicating substances to Plaintiff and placing here in harm's way. Defendant Kreka, by way of example, owed Plaintiff a legal duty to protect Plaintiff from harm when the danger was caused, in part, by Kreka and the harm was apparent to Kreka such that he was in a position to protect Plaintiff from the harm, a duty to not place Plaintiff in harm's way of foreseeable criminal activity, a duty to not operate a vehicle when legally intoxicated thereby placing Plaintiff in danger and, ultimately, causing her to arrive at the location where she was sexually assaulted, and a duty to treat Plaintiff in a manner that would not subject her to physical or mental injury. Defendant Kreka breached each and every one of these duties as detailed in this Petition. The Premises Defendants, for example, owed Plaintiff a duty to use ordinary care in maintaining its premises in a safe condition and to inspect the premises to ensure the safety of its occupants, a duty to protect Plaintiff against unreasonable and foreseeable risks of harm from the criminal acts of third parties due to the Premises Defendants' status (as landowner) and ability to control the security and safety of the premises, a duty not to injure Plaintiff in a willful, wanton, or grossly negligent manner or allow another to do so on its premises when it knew, or reasonably should have known, such conduct would take place, a duty to make safe conditions on its property in order to protect Plaintiff, and a duty to treat Plaintiff in a manner that would not subject her to physical or mental injury. As the owner and operator of the location where Plaintiff was sexually assaulted, falsely imprisoned, and subjected to extreme and outrageous intentional infliction of emotional distress, there can be no dispute that the Premises Defendants breached each and every one of the duties it owed Plaintiff.
52. Defendants breached the duties it owed to Plaintiff (as set forth in this Petition) PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 12 OF 19 thereby proximately causing Plaintiff's injuries and the damages alleged herein. COUNT 6: PREMISES LIABILITY
53. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 52 of Plaintiff's Petition.
54. Plaintiff's cause of action for Premises Liability is alleged against the Premises Defendants, only. Plaintiff reserves the right to supplement and amend this cause of action.
55. The Premises Defendants facilitated the assault and tortious conduct on Plaintiff through the use or misuse of the property—located at 4900 Edwin Lewis Drive, Addison, Texas 75001—owned, operated, controlled by, franchised by, licensed by, and/or otherwise possessed by the Premises Defendants.
56. The Premises Defendants owed Plaintiff a duty to exercise ordinary care in protecting Plaintiff from unreasonable and reasonably foreseeable risks of harm (including criminal activity at its premises considering the history, frequency, proximity, regularity, publicity, and similarity of criminal conduct on or near the Premises Defendants' property) especially in light of the Premises Defendants' status as landowner and ability to control the security and safety of the premise. The Premises Defendants had a duty to inspect and make safe any dangerous conditions or situations on its property or give Plaintiff an adequate warning of the dangerous conditions or situations.
57. The Premises Defendants breached the legal duties it owed Plaintiff thereby proximately causing Plaintiff's damages alleged herein.
COUNT 7: DRAM SHOP LIABILITY
58. Plaintiff's cause of action for Dram Shop Liability is alleged against Defendant Deari—in his capacity as registered agent, director, and president of Pastazios—and Pastazios, PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 13 OF 19 only. As used within Section VI(Count 8) of Plaintiff's Original Petition, said Defendants shall be referred to as the "Dram Shop Defendants." Plaintiff reserves the right to supplement and amend this cause of action.
59. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 58 of Plaintiff's Petition.
60. On or about April 26, 2011, the Dram Shop Defendants held Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission licenses for the sale or service of alcoholic beverages and did, in fact, sell or serve multiple alcoholic beverages to Plaintiff who, at the time, was an 18 year-old "adult recipient" of said beverages.
61. To the extent that the Dram Shop Defendants did not hold Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission licenses for the sale or service of alcoholic beverages on or about April 26, 2011, Plaintiff alternatively alleges that the Dram Shop Defendants did not have said licenses yet still sold Plaintiff, an 18 year-old "adult receipt", alcoholic beverages.
62. After the Dram Shop Defendants provided the alcoholic beverages to Plaintiff, it was apparent, or readily became apparent, to the Dram Shop Defendants that Plaintiff was obviously intoxicated.
63. Plaintiff's intoxication—as a result of Defendants' actions was one of the proximate causes of the injuries incurred and the damages alleged by Plaintiff herein. COUNT 8: INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS [ALTERNATIVE REMEDY]
64. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 63 of Plaintiff's Petition.
65. As an alternative remedy to Plaintiff's claims detailed in this Petition at Section (VI)(Count 1-Count? ), Plaintiff alleges that no alternative cause of action would provide PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 14 OF 19 Plaintiff with a remedy for the severe emotional distress incurred by Plaintiff which was proximately caused by Defendants' tortious conduct.
66. Plaintiff an individual—was and is a victim of Defendants' intentional or reckless actions that were calculated to cause severe emotional distress to Plaintiff.
67. Defendants' intentional or reckless actions towards Plaintiff were extreme and outrageous and, ultimately, proximately caused Plaintiff to suffer severe emotional distress. COUNT 9: PARTICIPATORY LIABILITY—AIDING AND ABETTING AND CONCERT OF ACTION
68. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 67 of Plaintiff's Petition.
69. Among the Defendants was a primary actor/actors who committed an underlying tort, or torts, against Plaintiff. Defendants had knowledge that the primary actor's conduct constituted a tort and Defendants gave the primary actor assistance, substantial assistance, and/or encouragement to commit the tort against Plaintiff. Defendants' assistance, substantial assistance, and/or encouragement was a substantial factor in causing the tort to be completed and a substantial factor in the damages incurred by Plaintiff as alleged herein.
70. Alternatively, Defendants' own conduct—separate and apart from the primary actor was a breach of duty to Plaintiff and a substantial factor in causing Plaintiff's injuries.
71. Due to Defendants' joint assistance, encouragement, aiding and abetting, and/or concert of action, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants should be held jointly and severally responsible for the whole of damages incurred by Plaintiff.
COUNT 10: PARTICIPATORY LIABILITY—CONSPIRACY
72. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 71 of Plaintiff's Petition.
PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 15 OF 19
73. As fully described in this Petition, Defendants are, and were, individuals or individual entities that acted together as a combination of two or more individuals or entities.
74. Throughout Defendants' interactions with Plaintiff on or about April 26, 2011, the object of Defendants' combination was to accomplish an unlawful purpose and/or a lawful purpose by unlawful means.
75. Defendants had a meeting of the minds on the object or course of action of its conspiracy, and at least one Defendant committed an unlawful, overt act in furtherance of Defendants' object or course of action.
76. Plaintiff suffered the damages alleged herein as a proximate result of Defendants' wrongful act or acts.
COUNT 11: EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
77. Plaintiff incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, paragraphs 19 through 76 of Plaintiff's Original Petition.

Defendants personally, through Defendants' authorized agents, managers, officers, directors, vice-principals, and/or principals of the Defendants who were acting within the course and scope of their agency, employment, partnership, and/or joint venture. Alternatively, Defendants' malicious, fraudulent, and/or grossly negligent conduct was subsequently approved by or ratified by Defendants.
80. Defendants intentionally breached the legal duties it owed Plaintiff such that it could take undue advantage of Plaintiff and/or otherwise maliciously treat Plaintiff. The acts or omissions of Defendants, when viewed objectively from the Defendants' standpoint, involved an PLAINTIFF'S ORIGINAL PETITION PAGE 16 OF 19 extreme degree of risk when considering the probability and magnitude of the potential harm to Plaintiff and others.
81. Additionally, Defendants had actual, subjective awareness of the risk to Plaintiff and others but proceeded anyway with a conscience indifference to the rights, safety, or welfare of Plaintiff and others.
82. Defendants' conduct was performed and/or designed with a specific intent to cause substantial injury or harm to Plaintiff. As alleged fully herein, Defendants' conduct is an example of why punitive damages exist, and Plaintiff alleges that Defendants' conduct rises to the level warranting the imposition of exemplary damages against Defendants at trial of this matter.

84. Plaintiff has incurred significant damages due to Defendants' criminal, tortious, and outrageous conduct. Plaintiff seeks all losses sustained as a natural, probable, foreseeable, and/or proximate result of Defendants' wrongful conduct, including:

Order Page 3 of 9 Scheduling Order Page 4 of 10 to discuss with the Court an estimate of the length of trial and witnesses to be called (number, identity and anticipated length of testimony).
Unless otherwise notified by the Court Coordinator, all Counsel must appear on the morning of the Trial Date, with witnesses on one-hour standby. Counsel should be advised that, if their case is not reached on the morning of the trial date, they are subject to being held-over on standby for the rest of the week.

PROCEDURES GOVERNING DAUBERT/ROBINSON HEARINGS A challenge to an expert's opinion must be in writing and specify every ground for such challenge. A failure to specify a ground for a challenge is a waiver of that ground. The challenge, along with all supporting affidavits, deposition excerpts and any other evidence in support thereof, must be filed and served pursuant to the deadlines set forth in this Order. Direct testimony and all other evidence in support of the challenged expert must be reduced to affidavits and/or deposition excerpts of each and all witnesses to be used and such material filed with the Court's clerk no later than 4:00 p.m., four (4) days before the hearing. Such sponsoring evidence must be exchanged so as to be received in opposing counsel's office by 4:00 p.m., four (4) days before the hearing.
At the hearing, affiants, including challenged expert witnesses, may be present in the courtroom, but may not be presented for direct testimony in addition to their affidavits or deposition excerpts. The objecting party may cross examine affiants including challenged expert witnesses, if present in the Courtroom, only after which will the sponsoring party be permitted re-direct examination.
Please be advised that a challenge to the opinion of an expert, which is contained as evidence in the response to a Summary Judgment Motion, will likely result in the continuance of the Summary Judgment hearing so as not to work prejudice to the Summary Judgment Respondent, who, in effect, would otherwise be required to defend an expert at a Daubert/ Robinson hearing upon limited notice.

Pastazios Pizza, Inc.; Island Hospita lity Management, Inc.; Hyatt Hotels Corporation; and DOES 1-25; 193rd Judic ial District Court, Dallas County, Texas
Dear Counsel,
As I advised you all at the conclusion of the d eposition of Post Properties’ Corporate Representative on June 18, 2014 (i.e. – the last fact witness deposition in this matter), all of Plaintiff’s experts are available to be deposed at a date and time that is convenient for the parties and the witness. Since that date, I have not receive a si ngle request for dates to take Plaintiff’s experts’ depositions.
This is in addition to the invitation I extended at the May 20, 2014 hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel the Deposition of Jeffrey Fisher (while conferring in the jury room) for Defendants to begin taking the depositions of those e xperts whose opinions are not directly related to fact witness testimony of deponents not yet made available by Defendants. Once again, we did not receive a single request for dates since that time.
Instead, you have elected to file (or join in the filing) of motions to continue the trial setting – citing, as a basis, your inability to take the depo sitions of Plaintiff’s experts. Not only is this basis false, it is an excuse that has been intention ally manuffaactured by Defendants’ own conduct and discovery abuse that has been pervasive throughout this litigation. These issues will

Deari, et al/msj hearings and raw data Attachments: PLTF003532 - 003534.pdf David, Please see the attached letter to me from Dr. Flynn. I have confirmed that all of Dr. Flynn’s “raw data” was produced to you in advance of his deposition. In fact, you questioned Dr. Flynn on most of it during the deposition. By way of reference, I refer you to the portions of Dr. Flynn’s file at PLTF001731-002311 which contains the “raw data” and scaled scores for Dr. Flynn’s evaluations of Ms. Doe. If there is something specific that you are looking for that you believe you do not have, please identify it with enough specificity for me to address the issue. I am once again asking you for dates in which I can take Dr. Clayton’s deposition. This is my third request. If I do not hear from you by the end of business today, I will notice the deposition to take place at your office at a date and time that is convenient for us.

This raw data is contained directly in the tests materials, booklets and protocols that were administered to Plaintiff by Dr. Flynn. Let me know when I can expect to have the raw data to provide it to Dr. Clayton.

DEFENDANT ISLAND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC.’S REPLY TO PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE TO ISLAND’S MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE Defendant Island Hospitality Management, Inc. (“Defendant”) files this Reply to
Plaintiff’s Response to Island’s Motion to Examine Plaintiff Jane Doe, as follows:
I. Background
Plaintiff filed her Response to Island’s Motion to Examine Plaintiff on March 24 at 9:03 p.m. In her Response, Plaintiff asserts two arguments: (1) Defendant’s motion is untimely; and (2) Defendant has not satisfied its burden to prove good cause. As discussed herein, The Response is unavailing because: (1) Defendant’s expert designation was timely, as was the request for an independent examination; and (2) good cause exists for Defendant’s expert to DEFENDANT ISLAND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC.’S REPLY TO PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE TO ISLAND’S MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 1 Document #135153 conduct an independent examination, and fundamental fairness requires that Defendant’s psychiatric expert be allowed to examine Plaintiff when her expert has conducted an examination.
Importantly, as an initial matter, Defendants’ counsel spoke with Plaintiff’s counsel about the scope of the independent examination before filing the motion. Namely, the scope of the independent evaluation would be limited to:
(1) a four hour clinical interview where Plaintiff’s history and personality disorders would be discussed; and (2) a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2 (“MMP-2”). 1 The scope of the proposed independent examination is far less intrusive than the examination performed by Plaintiff’s expert.2
II. Arguments and Authorities
1. Defendant’s Expert Designation was timely, as was the request for an independent examination.
Defendants’ expert was timely designated pursuant to the Court’s December 30, 2014 order. Namely, the Court’s order states:
FURTHERMORE, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that within 30 days after the deposition of an expert designated by Plaintiff, the Defendants may designate experts testifying in response to opinions disclosed at the deposition.
Dr. Flynn produced his expert file on December 16, 2014. Defendant deposed Dr. Flynn three days later on December 19, 2014, and Defendants designated their expert, Dr. Clayton, on January 16, 2015. Shortly after Dr. Clayton was designated, Defendants requested that Plaintiff submit to examination by Dr. Clayton trying to work something out without the need for the Court’s intervention. Ultimately, negotiations about the independent examination broke down – which required Defendants to file their motion for an independent examination on February 6, 2015.
Defendants’ request for an independent examination was timely. Plaintiff now contends that Defendant should have known it would need an independent examination since Plaintiff designated Dr. Flynn in May 2014. However, Plaintiff ignores that her expert designation does not state that Dr. Flynn examined Plaintiff, hence Defendants did not have notice that they would need to examine Plaintiff. In fact, Plaintiff’s expert designation states only that:
Dr. Flynn’s testimony will be based upon his skill, knowledge, education, experience, and training, as well as his review of the pertinent authoritative publications written by him and others, and the evidence, pleadings, and discovery served, produced, and/or elicited in this case and based upon a reasonable degree of professional, medical, and scientific probability and/or certainty.
Given the language of Plaintiff’s expert designation, Defendants were not put on notice that their expert would conduct an examination on Plaintiff. To the contrary, Defendants did not know Plaintiff’s expert conducted an independent examination until three days before Dr. Flynn’s deposition when his expert file was produced. Of note, Plaintiff’s examinations did not take place until August 2014 and September 2014, well after Plaintiff’s expert designation and after Plaintiff alleges discovery was cut-off.
Defendants’ expert realized that an independent examination was necessary only after Defendants deposed Plaintiff’s expert on his independent examination of Plaintiff. And Defendants moved quickly for an independent examination after Plaintiff rejected their request. Accordingly, Defendants’ request for an independent examination is timely. DEFENDANT ISLAND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC.’S REPLY TO PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE TO ISLAND’S MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 3 Document #135153
2. Good Cause exists for this Court to order an independent examination and fundamental fairness requires that Defendant’s expert be allowed to examine Plaintiff.
First, Plaintiff’s expert testified that his raw data was based on his subjective interpretation of Plaintiff’s responses to his questions. Specifically, Dr. Flynn testified as follows:
Q.· ·(BY MR. DENTON)· Similarly, I'm looking at this 21· very first sentence on that paragraph, and it says, 22· Ultimately, the clinician must make a clinical judgment as 23· to whether a diagnostic criterion is met.· Now, would that 24· also mean that you have the judgment, the discretion to 25· find or not find whether a diagnostic criterion is met?
Page 160
·1· · · A.· ·It does. 3 Dr. Flynn further testified that some of his opinions are based on his subjective or clinical judgment. Namely, Dr. Flynn testified:
Q.· ·Is it objective -- or is it objective data from 11· which you used in arriving at your opinions?
12· · · A.· ·It is mostly objective and some clinical judgment 13· or subjective. 4
Because Plaintiff’s expert’s opinions are partially based on his subjective interpretation of Plaintiff’s response during his examination, the raw data produced from Dr. Flynn’s examination warrants an independent examination by Defendant’s psychiatric expert.
Second, Defendants established the requisite nexus between the independent examination and the condition in controversy. The Fort Worth Court of Appeals recognized in In re Transwestern Publ’g Relators Co., that “A mental examination by Defendants’ expert [psychiatrist] is likely to lead to the discovery of relevant evidence regarding the nature and extent of her mental anguish damages, the bases for her injuries and the likelihood of her suffering future mental anguish.” 96 S.W.3d 501, 507 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth, 2002). Just like In re Transwestern, a reasonable nexus exits in this case between Plaintiff’s mental condition and the examination sought because Defendants’ expert psychiatrist’s mental examination is intended to explore Plaintiff’s allegations of mental anguish as they relate to her inability to go to college, explore other career paths, and otherwise live a normal life.5
Finally, the raw data provided by Plaintiff’s expert does not contain all the information which Defendant’s expert seeks. In re Transwestern recognized that the information Defendants will obtain from conducting their own mental examination is not likely to be acquired by other means. 6 Reviewing Dr. Flynn’s raw data and Dr. Flynn’s deposition transcript only allows Defendants’ expert to base her opinions on the information obtained by Plaintiff’s expert. In order for Defendants to make their own analysis of the nature of Plaintiff’s mental anguish and effectively challenge the opinions of Dr. Flynn, Defendants’ expert psychiatrist needs to be able to conduct an independent evaluation of Plaintiff. The reasoning of the court of appeals in Sherwood Lane Assocs. v. O’Neill is directly on point:
The minor has already been examined by her expert witnesses. Unless relators are allowed the requested relief, their expert’s analysis will be limited to a review of the minor’s records and the testimony of the minor’s psychologists. Relators’ expert would be precluded from examining matters not covered by the minor’s psychologists’ examinations and would be precluded from making his own observations. The trial court’s actions severely restricts relators’ opportunity to discover facts that may contradict the opinions of the minor’s expert witnesses. In turn, such restriction severely limits relators’ ability to contest the minor’s claim for mental injury damages.
The ultimate purpose of discovery is to seek the truth, so that disputes may be decided by what the facts reveal, bot by what facts are concealed. Fundamental fairness dictates that relators’ psychiatrist be allowed to examine the minor; otherwise, relators will be at a severe disadvantage in the “battle of experts.” 7
It is impossible to obtain the desired information through means that are less obtrusive than the independent examination sought by Defendants.
For the reasons discussed above, good cause exists for this Court to order an independent examination.
III. Conclusion WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED Defendant requests that the Court grant their Motion to Examine Plaintiff, order Plaintiff to be produced for a psychological examination conducted by Dr. Lisa Clayton, and grant such further and additional relief to which Defendant may be entitled.

EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
NOW COMES Defendants Island Hospitality Management, Inc., Post Properties, Inc., and Post Addison Circle Limited Partnership and file this Joint Motion for Reconsideration to Examine Plaintiff Jane Doe. Defendants also request that Dr. Lisa Clayton's deposition be postponed until the Court can rule upon this Motion for Reconsideration.
JOINT MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 1 Document #135813
I. Background 1. On March 27, 2015, the Court denied Island's Motion to Examine Plaintiff Jane Doe. Island and Post file this motion for reconsideration based on the affidavit provided by Dr. Lisa Clayton.
2. By way of background, Plaintiff sued Defendants for, among other things, mental anguish and psychological-related damages as a result of an alleged sexual assault.
3. On April 30, 2014, Plaintiff designated a psychologist as a testifying expert, Dr. William Flynn. In the designation. Plaintiff did notstateorgiveany indication that Dr. Flynn would conduct an examination of Plaintiff.
4. On December 16, 2014, Dr. Flynn's file was produced, and it was learned for the first time that he conducted a psychological examination on Plaintiff.1 The tests Dr. Flynn administered to Plaintiff were the CAPS-DX, the Personality Assessment Inventory ("PAI"), the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders ("SCID-1"), the Beck Depression Inventory ("BDI"), and the Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms, Second Edition ("SIRS II"), and he interviewed Plaintiff for a total of six and a half hours.2
5. On December 19, 2014, Dr. Flynn gave his testimony at a deposition, and testified that his opinions were based upon and in reliance upon the examination.
6. On January 16,2015, Defendant designated Dr. Lisa Clayton as a testifying expert, to testify in response to Dr. Flynn. Dr. Clayton has requested that she, like Dr. Flynn, be able to examine Plaintiff to develop her expert opinions to further challenge Dr. Flynn's opinions. * See Exhibit 1, Email from Kymberlee Wright producing Dr. Flynn's file.

7. The scope of the independent examination be would be limited to: (1) a four hour clinical interview where Plaintiffs history and personality disorders would be discussed; and (2) a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2 ("MMP-2").
8. The interview and MMPI-2 are intended to explore Plaintiff's alleged PTSD, and other mental issues, as the alleged issues relate to the sexual assault that is the subject of this lawsuit.3
9. The clinical interview will be no more than four hours.4 The topics covered during the interview include identification of Plaintiffs symptoms, the history of Plaintiffs present mental disorders, psychiatric history, medical history, family history, social history, sexual history, substance use and abuse, and mental status examination (i.e., behavior, speech, mood, insight and judgment).5 The interview will be held at Dr. Clayton's Southlake Office between Plaintiff and Dr. Clayton. Dr. Clayton will take notes of the interview, and the notes will be made available to Plaintiffs counsel and Dr. Flynn.6
10. The clinical interview allows Dr. Clayton to obtain information that is not available from any other source than Plaintiff.7 In order for Dr. Clayton to have all the information to challenge Dr. Flynn's opinions. Dr. Clayton needs to be able to conduct an independent evaluation of Plaintiff. Unless Dr. Clayton is allowed to examine Plaintiff, her analysis will be limited to a review of Plaintiff's records and Dr. Flynn's testimony and data.8 Without an 3 See Exhibit 4, Affidavit of Lisa K. Clayton, M.D.
11. The MMPI-2 is commonly used and relied upon for clinical treatment, as well as in the area of forensic psychiatry.10 Further, it is the most widely recognized tool to diagnose genuine verses malingered or feigned PTSD within the forensic psychiatric community.11 The MMPI-2 consists of 567 questions and takes approximately 60 to 120 minutes to complete.12 Dr, Clayton will administer, score, and interpret,Plaintiffs responses to the questions.13 This test will be used in collaboration with the clinical interview.14 The clinical interview is necessary to interpret the results to the MMPI-2.15
12. The requested clinical interview and MMPI-2 would both provide additional information relating to Plaintiff's historical, current, and future mental health symptoms, diagnoses, problems, and treatments.16 For example, the requested examination would provide information regarding the impact of the sexual assault that is the subject of this lawsuit on Plaintiffs past and future mental health, events in Plaintiffs life other than the sexual assault 9 Exhibits Dr. Flynn Deposition Transcript, page/line. 45:14-16; Exhibit 2 Dr. Flynn's Invoice. 10 Exhibit 4, Affidavit of Dr. Lisa K.

JOINT MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 4 Document #135813 that impact her mental health, Plaintiffs' mental health issues existing prior to or unrelated to the sexual assault, and whether - and the extent to which - future mental health treatment is needed.17 Such information directly bears on the alleged past and future mental anguish injuries and damages that are at issue in this lawsuit. The requested examination is intended to explore Plaintiffs allegations of mental anguish as they relate to her ability (or inability) to go to college, explore certain career paths, and otherwise live a normal life.18
II. Arguments an^Authorities 13. The court may order the mental examination of a party or person under the party's control if the movant shows good cause and either: (a) the party's mental condition is in controversy;19 or (b) the party responding to the motion designated a psychologist as a testifying expert or disclosed a psychologist's records for possible use at trial.20
14. Rule 204(c) provides there must be good cause for the examination. "Good Cause" requires a showing of each of the following components: (a) the examination is relevant to the genuine issues; (b) there is a reasonable connection between the condition in controversy and the examination sought; and (c) it is not possible to obtain the information sought though some other, less intrusive means.21 17 Id. 18 Id. 19Tex.

JOINT MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 5 Document #135813
1. Good Cause exists for this Court to order an independent examination and fundamental fairness requires that Defendant's expert be allowed to examine Plaintiff. 15. As an initial matter, Plaintiff's expert testified that his raw data was based on his subjective interpretation of Plaintiff's responses to his questions. Specifically, Dr. Flynn testified as follows: a (BY MR. DENTON) SimilarlyJ'm looking at this 21 very first sentence on that paragraph, and it says, 22 Ultimately, the clinician must make a clinical judgment as 23 to whether a diagnostic criterion is met. Now, would that 24 also mean that you have the judgment, the discretion to 25 find or not find whether a diagnostic criterion is met?

1 A. It does.22 Dr. Flynn further testified that some of his opinions are based on his subjective or clinical judgment. Namely, Dr. Flynn testified:
Q. Is it objective - or is it objective data from 11 which you used in arriving at your opinions?
Because Plaintiffs expert's opinions are partially based on his subjective interpretation of Plaintiff's response during his examination, the raw data produced from Dr. Flynn's examination warrants an independent examination by Defendant's psychiatric expert.
16. Dr. Flynn continues to evaluate Plaintiff "as new information comes in", and formulate opinions fortriai. During his deposition, Dr. Flynn testified that he has had subsequent 22 Exhibits, Dr. Flynn Deposition Transcript, page/line. 159:20-160:1.
JOINT MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 6 Document #135813 telephone follow-up with Plaintiff and formed additional opinions about her prognosis on new information that he received. Specifically, Dr. Flynn testified:
Q. (BY MR. DENTON) As you sit here today, the 12 opinions that you've told us about a few minutes ago,are 13 those all of the opinions that you have about Ms. Shields 14 in relation to the work that you're doing on this file?
10 But you really didn't ask about is it getting worse, is it 11 getting better, how old is she,does she - so depending 12 upon what questions are asked of me, I'll simply give 13 honest answers to whatever I'm asked. Does that make 14 sense?24 a. The examination is relevant to the genuine issues in this case.
17. Plaintiff alleges in her lawsuit that she suffered and will suffer past and future mental as a result of the alleged sexual assault.25 She is seeking punitive damage for these 24 Exhibits, Dr. Flynn Deposition Transcript, page/line. 87:11-88:14.
25 Plaintiff's Third Amended Petition.
JOINT MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 7 Document #135813 injuries.26 In response to discovery, Plaintiff designed Dr. Flynn as her testifying expert and he will testify about Plaintiff's mental anguish.27 Moreover, Plaintiff alleges a loss of earning capacity since she was unable to attend college due to her mental anguish.
18. Through Plaintiff's pleadings, discovery responses, and designation of a psychologist to testify about her mental anguish, she has made her mental anguish a central issue in this case. As such, the evidence supports a determination that she has placed her mental condition in controversy.28
b. There is a reasonable connection between Plaintiff's mental anguish and the examination sought.
19. The Fort Worth Court of Appeals recognized in In re Transwestern Publ/g Relators Co., that "A mental examination by relators' expert psychologist is likely to lead to the discovery of relevant evidence regarding the nature and extent of her mental anguish damages, the bases for her injuries and the likelihood of her suffering future mental anguish."29 Just like In re Transwestern, a reasonable nexus exits in this case between Plaintiff's mental condition and the examination sought because Defendants' expert psychiatrist's mental examination is intended to explore Plaintiff's allegations of mental anguish as they relate to her inability to go to college, explore other career paths, and otherwise live a normal life.30 26 Id. 27 Exhibits, Plaintiff's Expert Witness Designations.
c. It is not possible to obtain the information sought through some other, less intrusive means.
20. The Fort Worth Court of Appeals recognized that the information obtained from conducting an independent examination is not likely to be acquired by other means.31 This is true in this case. Reviewing Dr. Flynn's raw data and his deposition transcript only allows Defendants' expert to base her opinions on the information obtained by Plaintiff's expert. In order for Defendants to make their own analysis of the nature of Plaintiffs mental anguish and effectively challenge the opinions of Dr. Flynn, Defendants' expert psychiatrist needs to be able to conduct an independent evaluation of Plaintiff.32 The reasoning of the court of appeals in Sherwood Lane Assocs. v. O'Neill is directly on point:
The minor has already been examined by her expert witnesses. Unless relators are allowed the requested relief, their expert's analysis will be limited to a review of the minor's records and the testimony of the minor's psychologists. Relators' expert would be precluded from examining matters not covered by the minor's psychologists' examinations and would be precluded from making his own observations. The trial court's actions severely restricts relators' opportunity to discover facts that may contradict the opinions of the minor's expert witnesses. In turn, such restriction severely limits relators' ability to contest the minor's claim for mental injury damages.
The ultimate purpose of discovery is to seek the truth, so that disputes may be decided by what the facts reveal, not by what facts are concealed. Fundamental fairness dictates that relators' psychiatrist be allowed to examine the minor; otherwise, relators will be at a severe disadvantage in the "battle of experts."33
It is not possible to obtain the desired information through means that are less obtrusive than the independent examination sought by Defendants. Namely, Dr. Clayton is unable to observe Plaintiff's reactions to the tests administered by Dr. Flynn and this data is not available through 31 Id. at 507.
2. Plaintiff designated a psychologist as a testifying expert and disclosed his records for possible use at trial.
21. As discussed above. Plaintiff designed Dr. Flynn (a forensic psychologist) as her testifying expert to testify about the psychological, medical, behavioral, educational, physiological, vocational, and social trauma that Plaintiff allegedly suffered as a result of the sexual assault that is the subject of this case.38 As such, Defendants have satisfied Rule 204(c)'s requirements for obtaining an order to obtain an independent examination.
JOINT MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION TO EXAMINE PLAINTIFF JANE DOE PAGE 10 Document #135813
3. Dr. Clayton's deposition should be postponed until the Court rules upon this joint motion for reconsideration.
22. Dr. Clayton's deposition is currently set for April 17, 2015. In the event the Court grants this motion, then Dr. Clayton will formulate additional opinions about Plaintiff after the examination. In that case, Plaintiff will want to take Dr. Clayton's deposition again to obtain Dr. Clayton's additional opinions. Rather than incurring the cost of two depositions, Defendants request the Court postpone Dr. Clayton's April 17, 2015 deposition until this motion can be decided.
III. Conclusion & Prayer
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED Defendants requests that the Court grant this Motion for Reconsideration to Examine Plaintiff, order Plaintiff to be produced for a psychological examination conducted by Dr. Lisa Clayton, postpone Dr. Lisa Clayton's deposition until after the examination, and grant such further and additional relief to which Defendants may be entitled.

§ § s fi DALLAS COUNT/, TEXAS APFIDAVIT OF LISA K. CLArTON. M,D,
STATE OF TEXAS §
& COUNTY OF DAUAS §
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, on this day personady appeared Lisa K. Clayton, M,D., who being duly sworn ypon his oath deposed and stated as follows; 1. "My name is Usa K. Clayton, M.D. I am over the age of eighteen (18) years/ have never b&en convicted of a felony, and jl am of sound mind. I am competent to testify to the matters stated herein^ The matters stated herein are based on my personal knowledge and are true and correct.
2. I am a medical doctor, and t hold board certifications in psychiatry and forensic psychiatry. I have been designated as ai testifying eKpert in this lawsuit. The areas of my testimony are set
Page (of 3 Apr 13 2015 9;48AM Dr. Clayton 8174163668 page forth in my expert designation. Among other subject matters, t wlfl testify in response to Plaintiff's psychology expert's opinions.
3, I have formed .opinions based upon my review of the file of Plaintiffs psychology expert, Dr,
William Flynn, including the records and raw data from the mental examinations conducted by Dr. Flynn or at his direction. However, Dr. Fjynn's raw data Is partially based on his subjectlva Interpretation of Plaintiffs responses after observing her, and I would like to conduct my own independent examination of Plaintiff to contest Dr. Ffynr/s opinions based on my own observations regarding Plaintiff.
4, Dr. Flynn a^mlntstersct to Plaintiff the CAPS-DX, the Personality Assessment Inventory ("PAI"), the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders ("5CID-1"), the Beck Depression Inventory ("BDI"), and the Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms, Second Edition ("SIRS ff). AH of these tests are proprietary and copyrighted and can be administered and utilized only when they are paid for. While Dr, Flyn" administered many tests, he did not ad minister the test utilized to determine genuine verses mah'ngered or feigned Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ("PTSD") with a party in litigation. Hence, Or. Flyrm''s examination was incomplete.
5, The scope of my proposed examination is: (a) a clinical interview lasting no more than four hours where Plaintiffs history and personality disorders would be discussed, and (b) a Minnesota IVlultiphsslc Personality Inventory-2 ("MMPI-Z"), The Intervlswand MMPI-2 are intended to explore Plaintiff's alleged PTSD, and other msntat issues, as the alleged issues relate to the sexual as$ault that fs the subject of this lawsuit.
6, Ttie MMPI-2 Is commonly used and relied upon for clinical treatment, as well as in the area of forensic psychiatry. Further, it Is the most wfdely recognized tool to diagnose genuine verses malingered or feigned PTSD within the forensic psychiatric community, The MMPI-2 consists of 567 questions and takes approximately 60 to 120 minutes to complete. I will administer, score, and interpret Plaintiff's responses to the questions. This test will be used ir> collaboration with the clinical interview, The clinical interview is necessary to interpret the results to the MMPI-2.
7. The clinical interview will be no more than four hours. The topics covered during the
Interview Include identification of Plaintiff's symptoms, the history of Plaintiffs present mental disorders, psychiatric history, medical history, family history, social history, sexual history, substance use and abuse, and mental status examination (i.e., behavior, speech, judgment, mood, insight and judgment), The Interview will be held at mySouthtake Office betwe|en Plaintiff and me. I will take notes of the inteirview, and they will be made available to Plaintiff's counsel and Or, Flynn. The clinical interview allows me to obtain information that is not available from any other source than Plaintiff, In order for me to have all the information to challenge Dr. Flynn's opinions, I need to be able to conduct an Independent evaluation of Plaintiff. Unless I am allowed to examine Plaintiff, my analysis will be limited to a review of Plaintiff's records and Dr. Flynn/s testimony. Without an independent examination, I would be precluded from examining matters not coverad by Dr, Flynn, and I
Pnge 2 ftf3 Apr 13 2015 9:48AM Dr, Clayton 8174163668 page 4 would be precluded from making my own observations of Plaintiff. Furthermore, without an independent examination/the Hotel Defendants would be restricted from the opportunity to discover facts that may contradict Dr, Ftynn's opinions.
8. The requested clinical interview and MMPI-2 woijld both provide additional information relating to Plaintiffs historical, current, and future mental health symptoms, diagnoses, problems, and treatments. For example, the requested examination would provide Information regarding ths impact of the sexual assault that is the subject of this lawisuit on Plaintiffs past and future mental health, events in Plalntrff's life other than the sexual assault that impact her mental health, Pteintlffs' mental health issues existing prior to or unrelated to the sexuat assault, and whether - and the extent to which - future mental health treatment Is needed. Such information directly bears on the alleged past and future mental anguish injuries and damages that are at issue in this lawsuit. The requested examination ts intended to explore Plaintiffs allegations of mental anguish as they relate to her ability (or inability) to go to college, explore certain career paths, and otherwise live <i normal life.
9. I am unable to observe Plaintiffs reactions to the tests administered by Dr. Flynn and this data t$ not available through less intrusive means than conducting (a) a clinical interview lasting no more than four hours where Plaintiffs history and personality disorders would be discussed/ and (b| a MMPI-2. This is because the raw data and examination record from Dr. Flynn were based on, at least in part, his subjective Interpretation of Plaintiffs responses to hfs questions. Hts data and records were also based» in part, on bis subjective or clinical Judgment, including which subject matters and events to cover or not cover. As a result, I do not have all the data and records regarding Plaintiff, For example^ reviewing Dr. Ptyon's raw data and Dr. Flynn's deposlfclon i.ranscrlpt only allows me to form opinions based upon the subjective and selective Information obtained by Dr. Flynn, The requested examination would enable me to explore the opinions of Dr. FIynn and potentially discover additional facts that may contradict or bear upon hi$ opinions."
10. Further/ affiant sayeth not.
Zis^i K. CJaytoft, M. 57 SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN TO BEFORE ME on this the /f} day of y> i_ 2015, to certify which witness my hand and seal of office.

Mr. John A. Harris. CPA, CPP, PSP
Mr. John A. Harris, CPP, PSP, CPA—(404) 888-0060, 1170 Peachtree Street, Suite 1200, Atlanta, Georgia 30309—is a premises liability and forensic security expert. Please see the PLAINTIFF'S TEX. R. CIV. P. 194.2(F) EXPERT WITNESS DESIGNATIONS PAGE 5 OF 20 attached Exhibit B for a copy of Mr. Harris's resume and/or bibliography. Mr. Harris is board certified in security management (CPP) and Physical Security (PSP) by the professional certification board of ASIS International, an ANSI accredited standards development organization with worldwide membersMp of over 37,000 security professionals. Mr. Harris's CPP certification, is the preeminent designation awarded to individuals whose primary responsibilities are m security management and who have demonstrated advanced knowledge in security solutions and best business practices. Mr. Harris's experience in physical security began
/ over 40 years ago when he was undergoing training to become a commissioned officer in the United States Marine Corps, and he has conducted over 1,200 security risk assessments of various types of commercial properties including apartments, hotels, office buildings, parking lots, and mails located m 43 states as well as in Puerto Rico, the Virgm Islands, and Colombia, South America. In this case, Mr, Harris may testify that the sexual assault of Plaintiff on April 26, 2011, while the guest of an invitee and/or invitee at the Hyatt House located at 4900 Edwin Lewis Drive m Addison, Texas, was reasonably foreseeable and should have been anticipated by the "Hotel Defendants' based on the crimes committed on the premises and the surrounding area m the five years preceding April 26, 2011. Mr. Harris may testify that, prior to April 26, 2011, there had been sufficient crime committed at the Hyatt Hotel—including an armed robbery of an employee of the Hotel Defendants' just months before Plaintiff was raped on the same premises—and in the immediate vicinity to put the Hotel Defendants on notice that reasonable security measures were needed for the security, safety and well-being of their guests, invitees, and other people legally on their property. Mr. Harris may testify that in the five years preceding the attack on Plaintiff at the hotel, that there had been a significant number of criminal incidents reported to the Addison Police Department (including multiple crimes at the Hyatt House hotel and other hotels immediately in the vicinity of the Hyatt House hotel) such that the real potential of a violent crime taking place at the hotel was reasonably foreseeable. Mr. Harris may testify that these reported offenses included violent crime that the Hotel Defendants either knew or reasonably should have known about and should have taken proactive steps to ensure the security of its premises but did not. Mr. Harris may testify that the Hotel Defendants negligently failed to analyze the level of crime at or near the Hyatt House hotel provided by the Addison Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety and to utilize those analyses in determining the security needs of the property, and fhat the Hotel Defendants negligently failed to request any mformation from the Addison Police Department regarding past or current criminal incidents on the premises and in the immediate vicinity as a reasonably prudent hotel operator would and should have done. Mr. Harris may testify that the Hotel Defendants failed to conduct either component of a. security risk assessment, including the failure to conduct a threat assessment (based upon historical information of past criminal events, actual threats, inherent threats, and potential threats by virtue of the vulnerabilities around the hotel or weaknesses in the security program which produce opportunities for crime to occur) and the negligent failure to conduct a vulnerability assessment to analyze the weaknesses of the Hotel Defendants' security program or, alternatively, that the Hotel Defendants negligently failed to engage a professional security consultant to conduct the analysis. Mr. Harris may testify that the Hotel Defendants' negligent failure to conduct a security risk assessment made it impossible for the Hotel Defendants to assess the likelihood that criminals could and would exploit vulnerabilities or compromise security countermeasures at the hotel. Mr. Harris may testify that, based upon the PLAINTIFF'S TEX. R. CIV. P. 194.2(F) EXPERT WITNESS DESIGNATIONS PAGE 7 OF 20 Hotel Defendants' experience in the lodging industry, the Hotel Defendants knew or should have known that their guests, mvitees, and other people legally on their property were at risk to criminal activities if reasonable security measures were not undertaken, and that the Hotel Defendants knew or should have known that m the absence of reasonable security measures, the multiple property crimes (e.g., theft, vehicle break-ins, etc.) that were reported at the Hyatt House hotel can lead to violent crimes against persons. Mr. Harris may testify that it is generally accepted that most crimes are not random events, but planned events in environments -which provide the opportunity to commit a crime with the least likelihood of detection, intervention and apprehension and, further, that these conditions existed at the Hyatt House hotel on, and prior to, the April 26, 2011 attack on Plaintiff yet the Hotel Defendants did nothing. Mr. Harris may testify that the Hotel Defendants negligently failed to have security and/or adequate security at the Hyatt House hotel and that the Hotel Defendants knew or should have known that they did not have security and/or adequate security and that the inadequate security was unreasonably safe. Mr. Harris may testify that, at all pertinent times, the Hotel Defendants owned, operated, and/or controlled the Hyatt House hotel, and that the Hotel Defendants owed a duty to Plaintiff to exercise reasonable care (at a minimum) to protect Plaintiff from criminal attacks and other reasonably foreseeable injuries. Mr. Harris may testify that the Hotel Defendants breached its duties by committing the following non-exhaustive list of acts or omissions: (1) the Hotel Defendants negligently failed to exercise reasonable care in providing security guard services (the same services that were once provided but eliminated due to an attempted cost savings measure by the Hotel Defendants); (2) the Hotel Defendants' failure to implement sufficient security measures and conduct any type oftb-eat assessment or security assessment for the Hyatt House hotel at any point in time (including to this day); (3) the Hotel Defendants' negligent PLAINTIFF'S TEX. R. CIV.

RECONSIDERATION TO EXAMINE JANE DOE TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
NOW COMES Defendants Island Hospitality Management, Inc., Post Properties, Inc., and Post Addison Circle Limited Partnership (referred collectively herein as "Defendants"), and file this Motion for Emergency Hearing on their Joint Motion for Reconsideration to Examine Plaintiff Jane Doe for the following reasons:
1. Contemporaneously with the filing of this motion. Defendants are filing Defendants Island Hospitality Management, Inc.'s, Post Properties, Inc.'s and Post Addison Circle Limited Partnership's Joint Motion for Reconsideration to Examine Plaintiff Jane Doe. Defendants' psychiatrist expert's (Dr. Lisa Clayton) deposition is currently set for Friday, April 17, 2015. As stated in the motion for reconsideration. Dr. Clayton's opinions challenging Plaintiff's expert are currently based on the information and data Plaintiffs expert obtained during his evaluation of Plaintiff. Unlike Plaintiffs expert psychologist. Dr. Clayton has not had the opportunity to examine Plaintiff. The requested examination would enable Dr. Clayton to explore Plaintiffs psychologist expert's opinions and potentially discover additional facts that may contradict or bear upon his opinions. In the event the Court grants the Joint Motion for Reconsideration, Dr. Clayton will have additional opinions in this case, and Plaintiff will likely request a second deposition. In order to eliminate these contingencies, Defendants request Dr. Clayton's deposition be postponed until after the Joint Motion for Reconsideration is determined by the Court and the Court set the hearing on Defendants' Joint Motion for Reconsideration on April 15 or 16,2015,
FORTH ESE REASONS, Defendants Island Hospitality Management, Inc., Post Properties, Inc., and Post Addison Circle Limited Partnership, respectfully request that this Honorable Court order an emergency hearing on April 15 or 16 on Defendants Island Hospitality Management, Inc.'s, Post Properties, Inc.'s, and Post Addison Circle Limited Partnership's Joint Motion for Reconsideration to Examine Plaintiff Jane Doe, postpone Dr. Clayton's deposition set for April 17, 2015, and grant such further relief to which they are justly entitled.
