Oral Arguments Requested

Frederick F. Hoelke Attorney at Law State Bar No. 09775600 26545 IH-10 West Boerne Texas 78006 [email protected] (210)-444-0999 Telephone (210)-787-3881 Facsimile Appellee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal For Lack of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 42.3a of 1 the Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure APPELLEE'S MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Comes Now, Appellee, Memorial Park Medical Center, Inc., and asks the Court to dismiss Appellant John Green's appeal or, in the alternative, to affirm the trial court's judgment.

RELIEF REQUESTED Dismiss this appeal pursuant to Rule 42.3 a of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.

INTRODUCTION 1. Appellant's name is John Green; Appellee's name is Memorial Park Medical Center, Inc. 2. The 126th Court of Travis County, Texas signed the final judgment in the underlying case: Memorial Park Medical Center, Inc. v. John Green, Cause No. D-1-GN-14-000373 on March 13, 2014 in favor of Appellee and against Appellant.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY 3. 126th District Court entered a Temporary Restraining Order against John Green and his counsel on the 7th day of February, 2014.

4. A hearing was set by Appellant challenging the Temporary Restraining Order and setting Appellants motions to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, Request for Sanctions, and Motion to Transfer Venue for the 18th day of February 2014.

Appellee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal For Lack of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 42.Ja of 2 tlie Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure 5. All the appellant's motions were heard and vigorously disputed by the court; however, no order denying the motions was entered. The trial court extended the injunction to the hearing set on the 4th of March, 2014.

6. On the 4th day of March, 2014 the trial court heard the Appellant Green's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, Request for Sanctions, Motion to Transfer Venue and Motion to Reconsider.

7. After a full hearing, inclusive of exhaustive arguments of counsel, the 126th District Court denied appellant Green's motions.

8. The trial court entered a final judgment on the 13th day of March, 2014 in the form of a permanent injunction. A copy is attached as Exhibit 1. The trial court's final judgment thereby resulted in preventing Defendant Green from executing on its Abstract of Judgment.

9. On the 18th day of March, 2014 Appellee and Appellant both received a fax from the office of the District Judges, 1261h District Court, which was a copy of the final order entered on the 13th day of March, 2014.

10. On the 14th day of April 2014, Appellee, by oversight, filed an amended petition urging a new cause of action; tortious interference with contract. This was done without leave of court and 31 days after final judgment was entered.

11. In addition, the Appellee raised a claim under§ 12.02 of the Property Code. However, this section is not a separate cause of action but is only a remedy Appellee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal For Lack of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 42.3a of 3 the Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure associated with Trespass To Try Title cases, Suits to Quiet Title and I or Slander of Title. No cause of action had been filed by the Appellant herein while the trial court still had jurisdiction.

12. If Appellant had filed a Motion for a New Trial during the first thirty (30) days after the March 13th final judgment, the trial court would have maintained jurisdiction for an additional 75 days. As no Motion was filed by the Appellant during the thirty day period of time after final judgment, the remedy of filing a motion for a new trial, had it been exercised, would have expired on the 27th of May, 2014, when the court would have lost plenary power 75 days after the March 13, 2014 Final Judgment. Appellant did nothing until July 16, 2014 when appellant filed a motion for summary judgment.

13. The trial court lost plenary power on the 27th of May, 2014.

14. Assuming for arguendo' s sake that the appellant was not notified of the entry of the final order, his last date to file a motion for new trial or give notice of appeal was July 11, 2014.

15. The appellant lost his ability to appeal this matter 30 days from the 90 h day following the entry of the final appealable order March 13th 2014, pursuant to Rule a (4) which was July 11, 2014.

16. Appellant Green failed to file a motion for new trial and/or notice of appeal by the 11th day of July, 2014.

Appellee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal For Lack of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 42.Ja of 4 tlie Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure 17. On the 19th day of September 2014, Appellant Green, recognizing that a final judgment had been entered, filed a motion to clarify order(s) or Defendant's Motion For Judgment, Nunc Pro Tune. This was denied by the trial court on the 9th day of October and entered on the 30th day of October, 2014. A true and correct copy is attached as Exhibit 2.

18. The effect being the trial court's recognition that March 13 1h, 2014 was in fact the final judgment.

19. Yet another motion was filed by the Appellant on November. 10th, 2014 which was amended on the 22nd day of November 2014 and heard on the 9th day of December. The relief requested was for an early appeal which was a disingenuous way of asking the trial court to extend its plenary jurisdiction and requesting a trial setting on the remaining issues in the case. The motion was denied as to the early appeal.

20. Appellee, looking at its pleadings and the prior rulings of the trial court, determined there was nothing left to try but in essence a remedy motion pursuant to the Property Code § 12.00 et seq and decided to dismiss the pending remedy, which it did February 2nd 2015.

21. Appellant, having never filed a request for affirmative relief and/or a cause of action in the form of a counter claim during the time allotted by the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, did not have a justiciable cause for the trial court to determine.

Appellee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal For Lack of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 42.3a of 5 tlte Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure 22. On the 3rd day of February, 2015, Appellant Green, through his counsel, sent a letter to the trial court requesting that the court clarify the order of dismissal.

See a true and correct copy which is attached as Exhibit 3 23. The trial court responded to Appellant Green's letter with a letter of its own, dated February 18th, 2015; a true and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4. The trial court's letter states very clearly, because of the prior orders, that the court cannot do anything and therefore reinforces the trial court's prior ruling that there was a judgment rendered on the 13th of March, 2014 which has become final and has never been timely challenged. Accordingly, any issues of contention brought to the trial court after the court has lost its plenary powers become res judicata.

24. Appellant, this year, has filed yet another two pleadings with the trial court; one to modify a judgment and two to request findings of fact and conclusions of law from this Court . These were not ruled on because the trial court had no plenary jurisdiction.

25. Appellee attaches as Exhibit 5 an affidavit which authenticates the trial court documents used to demonstrate the procedural history of this appeal.

ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES 26. The Court has the authority under Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 42.3 (a) to dismiss an appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Appellee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal For Lack of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 42.Ja of 6 tlie Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure 27. The court should dismiss the appeal because Appellant filed the notice of the appeal after the deadline. See Eddins v. Borders,71 S.W.3d 368 371 (Tex. App.- Tyler 2001, pet. Denied). It is now too late for Appellant to ask for an extension under Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 26.3 See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a); Verburg v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997).

28. The court rendered a "final judgment" on March 13, 2014 in favor of Appellee and against Appellant. The hearing on the permanent injunction is a full trial of the issues in applicant's petition. Citizens State Bank v. Caney Investments, 746 S.W.2d 477, 478 (Tex. 1988). See Exhibit 1.

29. The court reaffirmed that a "final judgment" was rendered on March 13, 2014 pursuant to its October 30, 2014 Order Denying Defendant's Motion to Clarify Orders or Defendant's Motion for Nunc Pro Tune. See Exhibit 2.

30. An untimely request for finding of fact and conclusions of law was filed by Appellant on February 24, 2015.

31. The notice of appeal was due on April 14, 2014. A request to extend the time to file the notice of appeal was not requested at any time by Appellant. This Court should dismiss Appellant's appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In re K.A.F., 160 S.W.3d 923, 927 (Tex. 2005) (appellate court lacks jurisdiction over untimely appeal, and dismissal is proper remedy); Wilkins v. Methodist Health Care System, 160 S.W.3d 559, 564 (Tex. 2005) (accord); see also, In re Estate of Padilla, 103 Appellee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal For Lack of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 42.Ja of 7 tlie Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure S.W.3d 563, 566 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 2003, no pet.) (untimely appeal dismissed for lack of jurisdiction despite late notice of final judgment). It is now too late for Appellant to ask for an extension under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.3. TEX. R. APP. P. 4.2(a); Verburg! v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997).

32. Appellant filed the notice of appeal on March 3, 2015, almost a year after the deadline to file it and no request to extend the deadline was ever filed by Appellant.

33. Anticipating the arguments of appellant to claim no notice with respect to the final judgment, Appellee submits that even Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 306a (4) bars the appeal.

34. This court should dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant cannot confer jurisdiction upon this court nor can he survive the constraints of Rule b and 306a (4) of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.

35. Appellee is entitled to damages for frivolous appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 45. The Court may assume that Appellant brought this appeal solely for delay if it finds that Appellant prosecuted this appeal without observing the minimal procedural requirements for an appeal. See Hennigan v. Hennigan, 677 S.W.2d 495, 496 (Tex. 1984); Compass Exploration, Inc. v. B-E Drilling, Co., 60 S.W.3d 273, 279-80 (Tex. App.-Waco 2001, no. pet).

Appe/lee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal For Lack of Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 42.3a of 8 tlie Texas Rules ofAppellate Procedure CONCLUSION 36. Appellant has been informed repeatedly that a final judgment was rendered on or about March 13, 2014, and as evident, all of Appellant's subsequent motions have been denied with the trial court continuing to inform Appellant that a final judgment had been rendered. Appellant has now continued his vexatious litigation on appeal despite the fact that Appellant is attempting to file his appeal almost a year past the deadline.

PRAYER For these reasons, Appellee, Memorial Park Medical Center, Inc., prays that this Court grant its motion to dismiss Appellant's appeal or, in the alternative, to affirm the trial court's judgment and grant Appellee damages for a frivolous appeal and grant Appellee judgment for costs.

February 4, 2015 Honorable Tim Sulak Fax No. (512)854-9332 Re:·· Cause No. D-1-GN-14-000373, 126th Judicial District Court, Travis County, Texas Memorial Park Medical Center, Inc. v. John Green Dear Judge Sulak: The above styled and mentioned cause came on to be heard on the merits on Monday, February 2, 2015. Plaintiff filed a Motion to Dismiss Texas Civil Practices & Remedies Code §12.02 Remedy and Oaim For Tortious Interference at 11:22:07 a.m. on February 2, 2015 and presented a copy to Defendant's counsel at the 2:00 p.m. hearing that date. Upon the case being called, the court did not consider this motion and Plaintiff announced "non-suit". The court accepted Plaintiff's announcement of non- suit and dismissed the suit "as to all claims" as the record will bear out.

Plaintiff in its proposed order has misstated the facts and asked the court to include erroneous findings. The order signed March 13, 2014 merely granted a permanent injunction without any further specific detail which makes the order void for failure to meet the requirements of TRCP 683 as pointed out to the court in the hearing on the Motion to Clarify. A copy of the record of the March 4, 2014, hearing is attached to show the order pronounced from the bench was not for a permanent injunction but rather the injunction is extended. It would be an error for the order of dismissal to have a finding that the March 13, 2014, order was a final judgment. It would be inappropriate for the court to make findings as to the effect of the March 13, 2014 order as to timetables since there has been no trial on the merits in this case.

Plaintiff's Motion to Dismiss Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 12.02 Remedy and Oaim for Tortious Interference, though not considered by the court, must be addressed to expose the attempt by Plaintiff to mislead the court by stating patently false facts and facts which are not in evidence. The judgment of the 35th Judicial District Court in Cause No. CV0904121 was not reversed by the Eastland Court of Appeals as shown by the Mandate affirming the judgment as modified and attached as an exhibit to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction and hereto.

Exhibit 3 2015-02-04 16:59:32 (GMT) From: Haynes Law Firrn/ Reich Law Office To: Page 4 of 23

The $19,000.00 payment of the judgment was not deposited into the escrow account of Robert Reich and no court has ordered the funds to be returned to Plaintiff as alleged, which are facts, outside the record, well known to William Ruth and Frederick Hoelke as attorney for Plaintiff.

As stated earlier the order of March 13, 2014 does not restrain Defendant, John Green, from executing on its abstract of judgment or any other act and could not have been based on a non-existent reversal of the underlying judgment. All of these assertions are a clear violation of the Texas Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 13.

The ultimate question presented in this suit was the validity of the Mechanic's and Material Lien and the abstract of the final judgment in Cause No. CV0904121 in the 35u, District Court which are filed in the Real Property Records of Brown County, Texas.

This ultimate issue was not resolved by a trial on the merits and the court has accepted Plaintiff's non-suit as to all claims, including the challenge to the validity of the encumbrances on the 1.816 acre tract of land in the Taylor Smith Survey 600, Abstract No. 821, City of Brownwood, Brown County, Texas, made the subject of this suit.

Defendant, John Green, submits the enclosed order of non-suit for entrv bv the " - court, a copy of which has been given to Plaintiff's counsel along with this letter.

I would welcome a telephone conference between the Court and Fred Hoelke and myself if the Cowi desires to discuss the order.

Yours truly,

Robert E. Reich RER/jm cc: Fred Hoelke Via Fax (210)444-0996

The proposed order was not submitted to opposing counsel in violation of the Local Rules of Travis County. The order contained an obvious clerical error in that contrary to the Court's ruling the relief purportedly granted permanently enjoined Defendant from enforcing a Writ of Execution on a valid Mechanic and Materialman's Lien filed against real property in Brown County, Texas without first conducting a trial on the merits and somehow invalidating the Mechanic and Materialman' s Lien as Memorial Park had prayed for in its petition.

The action of the parties clearly established their knowledge and appreciation of the fact that only a temporary injunction had been granted in that Memorial Park filed an amended petition on April 14, 2014 Defendant filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on July 16, 2014 which are filed of record and are incorporated herein as if set out verbatim.

Contrary to the Local Rules of Travis County shown as Exhibit "4", Mr. Ruth did not comply with the mandatory requirement and filed three documents in hard copy format and did not file the documents electronically shown by the District Clerk letter of August 29, 2014 To: Page 10 of 23 2015-02-0416:59:32 (GMD From: Haynes Law Firm/ Reich Law Office

1 (Proceedings at 3:32 p.m.)

2 MR. RUTH: Your Honor, this is -- we have a request to extend the injunction and according to the prior court, they have already denied the motion for jurisdiction dismiss for jurisdiction and they have already denied motion to transfer venue.

7 THE COURT: You've already had a motion to transfer?

9 MR. REICH: No, Your Honor, I have just now 10 filed it. It has not been ruled on.

11 MR. RUTH: But the Court indicated this when we 12 came over here that she has already ruled on those issues.

13 THE COURT: That's his pleadings in issue, and 14 you have not filed a motion to transfer, this is the first 15 time?

16 MR. REICH: Yes -- no, I filed a plea of 17 jurisdiction.

18 THE COURT: And that was denied?

19 MR. RUTH: Yes, Your Honor, that's what the 20 Court just said before we came over here. Because she had 21 asked the question, she said she denied all the motions. And 22 the only motion we have before you, Your Honor, is the motion . 23 to extend the injunction hearing.

24 MR. REICH: Your Honor, I would ask the Court to 25 reconsider. That's the appropriate motion to transfer, To: Page 16 of 23 2015-02-04 16:59:32 (GMT) From: Haynes Law Firm/ Reich Law Office

1 otherwise it would be a matter of mandamus to -· 2 THE COURT: That's what you are going to have to do.

4 MR. REICH: Well, the Court could reconsider.

5 Please, read my motion, Your Honor -- 6 THE COURT: All right.

7 MR. REICH: -- please.

8 THE COURT: And you said the motion to transfer has already been heard?

10 MR. RUTH: Yes -- or she said that she denied all motions before her is what she had indicated. And she said that the only 1ssue before the Court was to extend the injunction. That was -- that was her exact words.

14 MR. REICH: Your Honor, it was late in the day . last week on, I believe, Thursday. And we only -- the Court :had allotted us 15 minutes. We had requested 45 and in fairness to the judge, I don't think she had opportunity to consider the -· the facts before her.

19 (Indicating.)

20 THE COURT: Do you have copy of this?

21 MR. RUTH: No, Your Honor, this is the first I heard, and I wasn't prepared for this, because the Court had already ruled. And she said the only thing that we would be having before her would be the injunction hearing to extend the injunction.

To: Page 17 of 23 2015-02-0416:59:32 (GMT) From: Haynes Law Finni Reich Law Office

1 MR. REICH: A copy was e-mailed to his office two days ago, Your Honor.

3 MR. RUTH: I have not received a copy of it.

4 Your Honor. That's the first I even knew about it.

5 THE COURT: And who is requesting the extension of the injunction?

7 MR. RUTH: Memorial Park Medical Center.

8 THE COURT: What do you have on that?

9 MR. RUTH: Your Honor, the Court at the last hearing had indicated that she wanted to show cause as to why she should not continue the injunction. And she had requested that we just serve Mr. Green at his last known address, and, Your Honor, we -- we did exactly as the Court said. We -· we employed Assured Civil Process serving here in Austin, which is one of the leading process servers, and they have provided an affidavit. If you would, I would approach the bench?

17 THE COURT: Okay.

18 MR. REICH: We are going to object to it as ·being hearsay, Your Honor. no response from the witness.

20 MR. RUTH: And my understanding is that they filed that directly with the court when they attempted to serve the defendants.

23 THE COURT: Anything further?

24 MR. RUTH: Just. Your Honor, the fact that that we have complied with the court order on getting processed To: Page 18 of 23 2015-02-04 16:59:32 (GMT) From: Haynes Law Firm/ Reich Law Office

1 attempted on Mr. Green, and that we did exactly as the Court ordered in order to extend the injunction. And and that they did exactly as the Court had stated and my understanding is that they filed with the court their attempts to have Mr. Green served. And if we need to serve him any further, Your ·Honor, under 120 (a), the counsel is representing Mr. Green and, you know, I think he waived service on the fact that he is here to represent Mr. Green under 120 (a).

9 And so, Your Honor, the tact that we've attempted to serve Mr. Green. Counsel is here to represent Mr. Green. We're ... we're only trying to hold this money in counsel's escrow account until we can have this matter 1 i ti gated .

14 I believe the temporary restraining order has been thoroughly looked at. We've had the Court grant our motions to dismiss opposing counsel's motions, and and the only matter before the Court is just to extend the injunction.

18 And that's all we are asking for, Your Honor, is to extend this injunction until Mr. Green can be served or through a posting or -- or have that adequately indicate to the Court that we followed the Court's order in trying to get him served through a proper -- a means of a process server here in this town.

23 THE COURT: All right.

24 MR. REICH: Your Honor, we filed a plea of jurisdiction that this is not the proper court to hear this To: Page 19 of 23 2015-02-04 16:59:32 (GMT) From: Haynes Law Firm/ Reich Law Office

1 case. It's a matter of venue, and -- and I am going to ask we are not waiving service. We are not conceding that this court has jurisdiction to hear this matter. It is an in rem proceeding. To clear -- if I have a real property in Brown County, Texas, it is mandatory that it be heard in Brown •· County. We are not pleading - - 7 MR. RUTH: Objection, Your Honor, these matters have already been argued last week, and -- and we have already -- and the ruling has already been made by the Court concerning all these arguments he is making now.

11 THE COURT: He filed a motion to reconsider. I wil 1 1et him 13 MR. RUTH: Okay.

14 THE COURT: -- give his reply.

15 MR. REICH: Your Honor, very clearly his petition states this is the clear title to land in Brown County, Texas. Under Rule -- Civil Practice and Remedies Code · 15.011, i t is mandatory that it be heard in that county. It's an in rem proceeding. That's -- that's -- I don't say it's elementary, but certainly it's a mandatory provision.

21 And an identical suit was filed in Brown County on January 29th, Your Honor. The -- Stephen Ellis, Judge Stephen Ellis, the 35th District Court, denied this identical motion, a request for application for temporary restraining order. The Court denied it -- To: Page 20 of 23 2015-02-04 16:59:32 (GMn From: Haynes Law Firm/ Reich Law Office

1 MR. RUTH: Objection, Your Honor, this is mischaracterization and disingenuous. And, again, Your Honor, I've -- this ~- these entire arguments were made before the Court before and they have been -- they have already been ruled upon, and I just don't appreciate the disingenuity in ~- in the arguments he is making, because these are the same arguments ·that were made before the Court previously and his motion was :_ c1 early denied and it's just ingenious to state that this is the same matter.

10 This is to hold money to -- to in the escrow account. It's not to clear up title, and if there is anything -- any wording to that effect that will be corrected if that's the case, but this case is about -- about holding some funds and that's all it's about.

15 MR. REICH: Your Honor, his petition says it's to clear title and it had -- it's Exhibit A to his petition is the mechanics and materials lien on property in Brown County, Texas. For him to say it's anything other than a clear title.

19 His petition belies that and the Court has to rely on his :_pleadings.

21 And the exhibit's there, Your Honor, you -- his petition is attached to his exhibits, my motion to transfer a venue. I believe, if you will look at his petition which is ...

24 THE COURT: But you agree that it's already been ruled on and you're asking a request that I reconsider -- file To: Page 21of23 2015-02-0416:59:32 (GMT) From: Haynes Law Finni Reich Law Office

1 a motion to reconsider? Is that what you are doing?

2 MR. REICH: Yes, Your Honor, and the fact that I do not think the Court understood the -- the true facts that day.

5 THE COURT: You better go tell the Court that.

6 The motion to reconsider is denied, and the injunction is extended.

8 MR. RUTH: Thank you, Your Honor.

9 THE COURT:· Okay. You need to prepare and order and submit it.

11 MR. RUTH: Yes, I will. Thank you, Your Honor.

Ct Sheet Entry did not reach MSJ because the parties dispute the finality of Judge Ramsey's order from 3/4/14 hearing. Upon reading the docket notes and the TRO that sets the Tl hearing on 3/4/14, this Ct is of the impression that the order was a Tl and not a permanent injunction. However, since the order singed states that a permanent Injunction Is granted and the docket notes made state a TRO extended, the Ct ordered the parties to obtain a transcript from the 3/4/14 hearing and set the matter before Judge Ramsey. If Judge Ramsey is not available, the matter can be set on the central docket after the parties obtain the transcript.

Upon review, I regret my ability to take further action in this case at this time. It appears that perhaps further legal research by, or direct communication between, counsel could resolve any confusion or uncertainty regarding the effects of the various orders and the parties' future actions.
