Judge Sharp
Magistrate Judge Knowles

TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
and RICHARD ROBERTS, Commissioner of
Revenue of the State of Tennessee,
Defendants.

PLAINTIFF BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
REPLY BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF ITS MOTION FOR
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Plaintiff BNSF Railway Company, pursuant to Local Rule 7.01(b), moves this Court for
leave to file the attached Reply Brief in further support of its Motion for Preliminary Injunction,
which was filed on July 14, 2014. BNSF submits that a Reply Brief would be helpful to the
Court in determining its Motion, as the defendants filed a Response that raised several issues that
BNSF did not address in its original briefing. BNSF seeks the opportunity to respond to those
issues and other arguments prior to the Court’s hearing and ruling on the Motion for Preliminary
Injunction.
BNSF is filing its Reply Brief provisionally at the time of the filing of this Motion.
BNSF respectfully requests that this Court grant this Motion and agree to consider its Reply
Brief.
