IN THE MATTER OF THE § IN THE DISTRICT COURT


MARRIAGE OF §
§
S L.G. § 367TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
AND §
J.P.G. § DENTON COUNTY, TEXAS

PETITIONER’S RESPONSE TO INTERVENOR’S MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE

COMES NOW, Petitioner, Sherry L. Green, and files her Response to Intervenor’s Motion

to Consolidate and for same would state as follows:

Consolidation is unnecessary, particularly, when the corporations are different entities.

Consolidation will only serve to complicate and delay the pending litigation.

Additionally, Consolidation is unnecessary when an attorney has not received the

authority from their client to file a Motion to Consolidate. Based upon an e-mail written by JR

Johnson, attorney for Defendant, Jame Green in Cause No. 22-9806-431 on or about May 9, 2023,

Intervenor “did not copy [him] in [his] role in the FFMB case.” Further, Mr. Johnson states “I am

receiving email traffic stating that [Intervenor has] filed Motions to Consolidate and one [from

Respondent] stating no objections” and then has to the request that documents be sent to him. A

true and correct copy of the May 9, 2023 e-mail from JR Johnson is attached hereto and

incorporated herein as Exhibit A.

More importantly, in Mr. Johnson’s email, he states, “[f]urther, and most importantly, my

client was unaware of your motions.” Counsel for Intervenor did not have the authority of its client,

A#1 Air, Inc. to file the Motion to Consolidate nor did counsel for Respondent, James P. Green

have the authority from their client to file Counter-Petitioner/Respondent’s Notice of Non-

PETITIONER’S RESPONSE TO INTERVENOR’S MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE Page 1 of 4


Opposition to Intervenor’s Motion to Consolidate.

Furthermore, Mr. Johnson states in his email that “[i]n fact, James Green has issued me, in

writing, instruction stating his desire that I cease all legal activity during this period of settlement

negotiations” and advises that “[d]uring a phone conference this morning, [James Green] stated he

had relayed those same terms to you as well. Given that the client does not wish for any

motions/legal matters to be heard at present, I object . . . and ask that you notify the court of same.”

Additionally, the Motion to Consolidate filed by Intervenor, A#1 Air, Inc., should have

included notice to Roger Yale, the attorney for Plaintiff, Sherry L. Green, Individually and on

behalf of FFMB GP LLC, and FFMB Ltd, and to JR Johnson, the attorney for James P. Green. As

stated above, James P. Green did not authorize the filing of a Motion to Consolidate by Intervenor.

For these reasons, Petitioner, Sherry L. Green respectfully requests this Court to deny the

Motion to Consolidate by Intervenor, A#1 Air, Inc.

Prayer

For the reasons set forth above, Petitioner, Sherry L. Green respectfully request the Court

deny Intervenor’s Motion to Consolidate in this matter and for such other and further relief for

which the Petitioner may show herself to be justly entitled.

Motion to Consolidate
J.R. Johnson <jr@bjlattorneys.com> Tue, May 9, 2023 at 12:38 PM
To: Richard Hayes <Rhayes@hbwvlaw.com>, Jeff Lynch <lynch@lynchlawfirm.law>, David Kruger
<dkruger@hbwvlaw.com>, Kenneth Ferguson <kferguson@hbwvlaw.com>, Roger Yale <roger@yalelawgroup.com>

Gentlemen:

I am receiving email traffic stating that you have filed Motions to Consolidate and one stating no objections. However,
as I am not involved in the original divorce/intervenor’s case, and you did not copy me in my role in the FFMB case, I
am asking that you send me those documents.

Further, and most importantly, my client was unaware of your motions. In fact, James Green has issued me, in
writing, instructions stating his desire that I cease all legal activity during this period of settlement negotiations. During
a phone conference this morning, he stated he had relayed those same terms to you as well. Given that the client
does not wish for any motions/legal matters to be heard at present, I object to any of those proposed dates and ask
that you notify the court of same.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

J.R. Johnson
