J. Howell allows the expert opinions and testimony of a forensic accountant in an insurance dispute over storm damages allegedly caused to an apartment complex by Winter Storm Uri in 2021. The insurance company argues that the expert was not accurately gauging the valuation and occupancy rate of the apartment, but while there are "obvious flaws" in some of the expert's opinions, that by itself "does not render them inadmissible."

J. Howell denies rail companies' motion to dismiss a company's allegations of a multi-year price-fixing conspiracy among the four largest railroads in the country to increase the price of rail freight transport. The company, as a member of the putative class, raising the same claims against a subset of the same defendants, is entitled to the same tolling as another class member. Because the company's claims were filed within four years of the end of the tolling period, the claims are not time-barred.
