Narrative Opinion Summary
This case involves Allied Plating, LLC, as an appellee, and Accurate Precision Plating, LLC, as the appellant, alongside Juan Guerrero and Guerrero Plating Technology, LLC. The legal matter arose from a trial court decision where the appellant sought further relief for past profits, contingent on the jury's award. Allied Plating filed a conditional cross-appeal, preparing to contest should the appellant seek additional relief. However, the appellant's appeal was restricted to challenging an evidentiary ruling by the trial court, rendering the cross-appeal unnecessary. Consequently, Allied Plating moved to dismiss its conditional cross-appeal, a motion unopposed by the appellant. The motion was submitted by Pam Rea of The Pam Rea Law Firm, PLLC, who ensured procedural compliance by conferring with the appellant's counsel, M. Lane Lowrey, prior to filing. The court was requested to dismiss the cross-appeal and consider any further relief for Allied Plating. The motion was properly served to all relevant parties, aligning with procedural mandates. This decision underscores the procedural dynamics in appellate litigation, particularly regarding conditional appeals and evidentiary challenges.
