  APPELLEES/CROSS-APPELLANTS’ OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO
       WITHDRAW AND TO MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE



TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellees/Cross-Appellants, Richard T. Archer, David B. Archer, Carol

Archer Bugg, John V. Archer, Karen Archer Ball, and Sherri Archer (the Archer

Family), respectfully file their Opposition to Motion to Withdraw and to Motion for

Continuance and request that the Court deny both motions.




                                        2
      Despite having 28-days notice of the September 2, 2015, oral argument,

Appellants waited until three business days before the setting to attempt to back out

of the case using an unsupported medical excuse. Ex. A. Moreover, Appellants

have had notice that the case would be submitted for oral argument since June 9,

2015, when the Court requested paper copies of the briefs. The court’s website on

that date indicated the case would be set for oral argument. Appellants’ eleventh-

hour attempt to delay the submission of this case should be denied.

      Appellants filed their opening brief on November 6, 2014. Appellees/Cross-

Appellants filed their combined brief, responding to Appellants’ issues and also

raising their issues on cross-appeal, on February 6, 2015.

      Appellants missed the deadline to file their reply brief, and Appellants

ultimately chose not to respond to Appellees/Cross-Appellants’ cross-appeal.

Appellants requested four extensions of time to file a cross-appellees’ brief. This

Court granted three of the requested extensions. Appellants, then failed to file their

cross-appellees’ brief within their requested deadline as set out in their fourth motion

for extension of time. The Court then submitted the case and dismissed the fourth

motion for extension of time as moot.

      The Motion to Withdraw is the sole basis for the Motion for Continuance of

oral argument. This court has discretion to deny a motion to withdraw and should

exercise that discretion for the following reasons. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5.



                                           3
      First, the Motion to Withdraw is untimely filed.        Appellants’ counsel’s

decision to wait until three business days before the oral argument to serve his

motion, with no supporting evidence or explanation for the late filing, is untimely as

a matter of law.

      Second, Appellants’ Motion to Withdraw is not verified, supported by

affidavit, or based on medical evidence. The sole basis for the Motion to Withdraw

is a medical condition. According to Appellants’ counsel, his “physical, mental, or

psychological condition material impairs movant’s fitness to represent Appellants”

citing Texas Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15(a)(2). A medical condition requires

medical proof to substantiate it, not simply a statement of the Rules of Professional

Conduct Standard. Appellants’ counsel’s unverified statement in a motion is not

proof and is beyond the bounds of Rule 10.2. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.2.

      Further, this is not the first time Appellants’ counsel has raised a medical

condition as an excuse to receive additional time from this Court. Ex. B. Appellants’

counsel attached a doctor’s letter to his Fourth Motion for Extension of Time filed

in May 2015. Ex. B. Unlike Appellants’ earlier motion for extension of time,

however, Appellants’ counsel attaches no doctor letter or other evidence and makes

no argument that his condition has suddenly changed to support the last-minute

request to withdraw.




                                          4
      Thus, Appellants’ counsel has had four month’s notice of the purported

medical condition but choose to wait until the eve of oral argument after Appellees’

counsel has devoted significant to time preparing for argument.

      Third, the Motion to Withdraw is nothing more than a delay tactic as shown

by Appellants’ counsel’s continued representation in the trial court. The appeal is

not the only matter pending involving Appellants, Appellants’ counsel,

Appellees/Cross-Appellants, and Appellees/Cross-Appellants’ counsel.

      Because Appellants chose to not file bond to suspend enforcement of the Final

Judgment, Appellees/Cross-Appellants were forced to pursue a receivership to

protect their ability to collect the judgment if it is ultimately affirmed on appeal. The

receivership proceeding is an on-going and litigious matter that has had numerous

contested filings and hearings since December 2013. In fact, the district court

entered an order in the trial court case on August 26, 2015.

      Appellants’ counsel, however, has not filed a motion to withdraw in the

underlying trial court receivership matter. That Appellants’ counsel has not

withdrawn in the underlying and ongoing trial court receivership matter in this case,

shows that the Motion to Withdraw in the appeal is nothing more than delay tactic.

      Further, the Motion for Continuance is not the first time Appellants have tried

to delay the submission of this appeal. Appellant Mark Anderson placed his mother

(and half of the Estate) into bankruptcy in an effort to avoid collection efforts. This



                                           5
Court had the parties respond to the bankruptcy filing. Ex. C. The bankruptcy court

eventually dismissed the proceeding. Ex. D; 3rd Supp. CR843.

      Appellees should not be penalized—in the form of further delay of

submission—based on Appellants and Appellants’ counsel’s lack of planning and

failure to act in timely manner to withdraw months ago if a medical condition is truly

the reason for the now-sought delay.

      For these reasons, the Court should deny the fatally-flawed Motion to

Withdraw.

      Other reasons, however, further demand that the Motion for Continuance be

denied. First, as pointed out in Appellees/Cross-Appellants’ Brief, some portion of

every issue raised by Appellants was either waived in the trial court or waived on

appeal for failure to comply with TRAP 38.1(i) by citing no authority for some issues

and no cites to the more than 9,000 page record for some issues. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 38.1(i). New counsel cannot remedy the briefing waiver, and of course, cannot

resurrect previously waived error in the trial court. Further, the district court has

sanctioned Appellants, among other means, by cutting off their ability to pay

attorney’s fees from the Estate, including attorney’s fees in this appeal. Ex. E; 3rd

Supp. CR846. Thus, there is no reason to delay submission to hire new counsel.

      Second, in this case, further delay in submission of this case is prejudicial to

Appellees/Cross-Appellants. During the course of post-judgment hearings, the



                                          6
district court found that over $1 million was “unaccounted for in Defendant’s net

worth calculation” while the lawsuit was pending against Appellants. Ex. F; 1st

Supp. CR 283. Thus, further delay in the appeal subjects Appellees to further

collection issues in the event the judgment is ultimately affirmed.

      Accordingly, Appellees request that this Court submit the case for oral

argument as it is currently set on September 2, 2015. Alternatively, Appellees/Cross-

Appellants request that the Court submit the case on the briefs, without oral

argument, on September 2, 2015.

      For these reasons, Appellees/Cross-Appellants Richard T. Archer, David B.

Archer, Carol Archer Bugg, John V. Archer, Karen Archer Ball, and Sherri Archer

respectfully request that this Court deny Appellants’ Motion to Withdraw and deny

Appellants’ Motion for Continuance of Oral Argument.                  Appellees/Cross-

Appellants further request that the Court maintain this appeal on the Court’s oral

submission docket on September 2, 2015.             Alternatively, Appellees/Cross-

Appellants request that the Court submit this appeal on the briefs without oral

argument on September 2, 2015. The Archer Family prays for such other and further

relief to which they may be entitled.

Dear Counsel:

        You are hereby notified that the above cause has this day been set for submission and oral
argument on September 2, 2015 at 9:00 AM, before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Pemberton and
Field. Argument is limited to 20 minutes for appellants and for appellees. Appellants’ time
may be divided and a portion used in rebuttal.
        In past cross-appeals, the standard time allotment has been: 10 minutes for appellants'
opening; 15 minutes for appellees/cross-appellants’ response and issues on cross-appeal; 10 minutes
for appellants'/cross-appellees' rebuttal and response; and 5 minutes for cross-appellants’ rebuttal.
        Upon receipt of this letter, please notify the Clerk, in writing, of your intention to argue this
case before the Court. Counsel should include any alternative agreement on the division of time, if
any. In the event that parties previously requesting oral argument should decide to waive argument,
this should be communicated to the Clerk well in advance of the setting date. All attorneys in civil
and criminal cases are required to file all documents (except a document submitted under seal or
subject to a motion to seal) with the Court through the eFileTexas.gov electronic filing system.
        The Court expects counsel to appear at the stated time, prepared to argue without undue
repetition of or reading from the brief, and to respond to questions from the bench.

To Whom This May Concern:

Mr. Gerald McFarlen is a patient under my medical care. His medical conditions have
recently made necessary diagnostic medical tests and changes in medications.

I would respectfully request that he be accommodated in having additional time to meet
deadlines in his practice of law as his conditions, required medical treatment and care
necessitate some degree of interference with his usual activities and time schedule.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your
consideration.


Sincerely,

       Signed electronically.

         ORDER GRANTING IN PART PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR SANCTIONS

               On the 20th day of June 2014, came on for hearing, Plaintiffs' Motion for Sanctions

   Against Mark Anderson.                      Having considered the motion, response, evidence, and

   arguments of counsel, the Court is of the opinion that the motion for sanctions should be

   GRANTED in part and remain pending in part.

               The Court finds that Mark Anderson violated this Court's December 20, 2013 Order

   Granting Plaintiffs' First Amended Motion to Enjoin Dissipation of Assets to Avoid

   Satisfaction of the Judgment ("No Dissipation Order") by disbursing a $75,000 attorney's

   fees retainer from the Ted M. Anderson Estate.

               The Court finds that the conduct described above significantly interferes with this

   Court's core function of enforcing its judgments by preserving the assets of the Ted M.

   Anderson Estate pending appeal.

               Under this Court's inherent authority, the Court has considered lesser sanctions and

                     On the 12th day of December 2013, came on for hearing, Defendants, T. Mark

            Anderson, as Co-Executor of Estate of Ted Anderson, and Christine Anderson, as Co-

            Executor of the Estate of Ted. M Anderson's Motion to Fix Amount of Security and

            Plaintiffs' First Amended Response to Defendants' Motion to Fix Amount of Security and

            Contest of Judgment Debtor's Net Worth Affidavit.                      Having considered the motion,

            response, evidence, and arguments of counsel, the Court is of the opinion that the motion

            to fix bond should in all things be DENIED and Plaintiffs' contest to Defendants' net

            worth affidavit SUSTAINED.

                     IT IS THEREFORE, ORDERED that Defendants, T. Mark Anderson, as Co-

            Executor of Estate of Ted Anderson, and Christine Anderson, as Co-Executor of the

            Estate of Ted. M Anderson's Motion to Fix Amount ofSecurity is DENIED.

             IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs' Contest of Judgment Debtor's Net

     Worth Affidavit is SUSTAINED.

             IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the assets subject to the claims against Ted M.

     Anderson and his estate include both halves of the joint community estate and Ted's

     special community property, all herein after referred to as the "Estate of Ted M.

     Anderson."

             In support of this Court, the Court finds the following:

             Ted M. Anderson and Peggy Anderson were married at the time of Ted's death.

             Plaintiffs' calculation using Defendants' federal estate and income tax returns'

     assets, values, and income, and deducting the allowable expenses, establishes the net

     worth of the Estate of Ted M. Anderson.

             Plaintiffs' calculation revealed $1,078,908 in estate assets that were unaccounted

     for in Defendant's net worth affidavit.

             Defendants' net worth affidavit is not credible and fails to accurately set out the

     assets in the Estate of Ted M. Anderson.
