Filed 11 June 15 P1:42 Amalia Rodriguez-Mendoza District Clerk Travis District CAUSE NO. D-1-GN-09-003734 D-1-GN-08-003734 STIRLING RENAISSANCE PARK § IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF PROPERTIES, LP, § Plaintiff, § 8 : v. § TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS § JUNG HSI, Individually, § 210 RENAISSANCE PARK, LP, and § 210 RP, LLC, § Defendants. § 419" JUDICIAL DISTRICT DEFENDANTS’ OBJECTION TO THE POST-VERDICT AFFIDAVIT OF SEANN POLI Defendants hereby object to the Stirling Plaintiffs Post-Verdict Affidavit of Seann Poli (the “Poli Affidavit”), and shows the Court as follows: 1. The Poli Affidavit is inadmissible because it is filed in violation of Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 270, and the Court is without authority to receive it. See Tex. R. of Civ. P. 270; University of Texas v. Ables, 914 S.W.2d 712, 718 (Tex. App.-Austin, 1996) (trial court abused its discretion in awarding attorneys’ fees based upon an affidavit attached to plaintiffs post-trial motion); Nixon v. GMAC Mort. Corp., 2009 WL 2973660, at *3 (Tex. App.-Dallas, Sept. 18, 2009) (affirming trial court’s decision to refuse to reopen evidence after jury verdict); Reveil v. A.L. Leal, Inc., 687 S.W.2d 467 (Tex App.-Dallas, 1985) (noting that Rule 270 forbids introduction of evidence on a controversial matter after the verdict is received, and refusing to accept evidence presented for the first time on a motion for new trial). 2. Independently of this bar to admissibility, the first and third sentences of paragraph 4 the Poli Affidavit are inadmissible because they constitute conclusory statements of fact or impermissible conclusions of law.PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that the Court strike the Poli Affidavit and sustain their objections thereto and grant them such other and further relief to which they may be justly entitled.
