Scot "Dolli" Dollinger. Trial Court Cause No. 2018-58419. Counsel Jessica Z. Barger, E. Marie Jamison, WRIGHT CLOSE & BARGER, LLP, Houston, Texas, Chris C. Pappas, Andrew J. Sarne, KANE RUSSELL COLEMAN LOGAN PC, Houston, Texas, Counsel for Appellants , Tina Nicholson and Baker Nicholson, LLP d/b/a Baker Nicholson Law Firm. Title REPLY BRIEF OF APPELLANTS TINA NICHOLSON AND BAKER NICHOLSON, LLP D/B/A BAKER NICHOLSON LAW FIRM Text [*1] TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: Appellants Tina Nicholson and Baker Nicholson, LLP d/b/a Baker Nicholson Law Firm (collectively "Baker Nicholson") file their Reply Brief and respectfully show the Court as follows. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Pohl delayed the initiation of this suit for years after the event that forms the basis of his claims-the alleged theft of his information-because, in his own words, he was "preoccupied" and simply "neglected to do" so. The timing of this legal action makes clear that what finally motivated Pohl to sue Baker Nicholson was the barratry lawsuits, making this a classic SLAPP that should be dismissed under the TCPA. Pohl has not directly addressed Baker Nicholson's arguments in support of dismissal. Instead, Pohl seeks to avoid the inescapable conclusion that he did not have a good-faith belief that he owns former client files and marketing information, or that such information is a trade secret, or the information was stolen based on conclusory and vague allegations. Because that is not the clear and specific evidence the TCPA requires, Baker Nicholson's motion to dismiss should have been granted. Page 2 of 13 2019 TX APP. CT.

POHL, PLLC, Appellees Type: Brief Prior History: On Appeal from the 189th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. Trial Court Cause No. 2018-58419. Counsel ALEXANDER DUBOSE & JEFFERSON LLP, Kevin Dubose, Texas State Bar No. 06150500, Houston, Texas, THE KASSAB LAW FIRM, Lance Christopher Kassab, Texas State Bar No. 00794070, David Eric Kassab, Texas State Bar No. 24071351, Houston, Texas. Title REPLY BRIEF OF THE KASSAB APPELLANTS Text [*1] REPLY TO FACTUAL BACKGROUND Pohl 1 contends that: (1) Kassab 2 has "fail[ed] to inform the Court that the 'facts' [he] recite[s] are not facts but are instead repudiated assertions" by a witness named Magdalena Santana ("Santana"); and (2) Kassab's reference to grievance proceedings is "in total disregard of the State Bar's admonition that grievances are 'strictly confidential.'" Br. Appellees at 11. Both contentions are without merit and require a brief response. Pohl argues that Santana's affidavit was "reputed" and "withdrawn" by her and is "not reliable." Id. at p. 3. Pohl cites to a second affidavit by Santana in which she claims she was "offered compensation to sign" the initial affidavit. Id. at p. 10. Ironically, Pohl himself paid Santana more than $ 50,000 to sign a statement for him agreeing not to charge him with any wrongdoing or report him to the State Bar of Texas. 1CR254-260. Regardless, Santana's second affidavit does not state that the testimony in her first affidavit is untrue, only that it is unreliable. 1CR277. 1 Appellees Michael Pohl and Law Office of Michael A.
