UNOPPOSED MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL PAGE 1
9919795v1 (73457.00002.000)
against Timothy G. Pletta ("Pletta").1 Jason W. Kerr and Kevin C. Schiferl remain
counsel for B&R LP in connection with the claims asserted by Plaintiffs against B&R LP.
This Motion in no way relates to B&R LP's defense of claims asserted against it by
Plaintiffs.
2. There is good cause for this Court to grant the Unopposed Motion to
Withdraw as Counsel (the "Motion") because B&R LP has failed to fulfill the terms of the
engagement agreement between the parties, and pay for services rendered. Counsel
attempted to resolve this issue, but no resolution has occurred.
3. B&R LP has been informed that this Motion will be filed. A copy of the
Motion will be delivered to B&R LP contemporaneous to the filing of the Motion.
4. B&R LP's may be contacted through its principals, Eddie Evartt and
Barbara Evartt, Office Manager; B&R Wiley Family, LP d/b/a Servpro of Mesquite,
SERVPRO of Kaufman County/Cedar Creek; 11374 Industrial Way, Forney, TX 75216;
(972) 329-4747; E-Mail(s): eddie@servproofmesquite.com;
barbara@servproofmesquite.com.
5. B&R LP has been notified of all upcoming settings and deadlines,
including the upcoming trial date. Mr. and Mrs. Evartt have been provided with a copy
of the Agreed Amended Docket Control ordered entered by the Court on April 10, 2023.
6. Counsel for Timothy G. Pletta, Individually and d/b/a Law Office of
Timothy G. Pletta and as Trustee for the Ann Hennum & Timothy Gerard Pletta

1Counsel also represented Defendant B&R Wiley Family GP, LLC ("B&R GP"). All claims asserted against
B&R GP were dismissed pursuant the Order Granting B&R GP's No-Evidence Motion for Summary
Judgment entered on November 15, 2022.
