Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01551-CV
MICHAEL DREW, GOVERNMENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT, LLC, ET AL.,
Appellants
V.
ELUMENUS LIGHTING CORPORATION, INC., Appellee
On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 199-02318-2013
ORDER
The underlying suit in this interlocutory appeal was brought by appellee against multiple
defendants. Of the multiple defendants, five are parties to the appeal. By order entered January
17, 2014, we granted appellants’ motion to stay all trial court proceedings, including discovery.
On January 31, 2014, appellee filed a motion to clarify the order, inquiring whether it could
conduct “limited discovery” against, and “seek relief from the trial court” in connection with
actions taken by, certain defendants who are not parties to the appeal. Appellants oppose
appellee’s motion, asserting any trial proceedings “could potentially impact” them and would
require their counsel’s presence.
Our January order stays “all further proceeding in the trial court, including discovery,
pending resolution of the appeal or further order of this Court.” (emphasis added) Accordingly,
to the extent appellee seeks to conduct any discovery and seek relief from the trial court against
defendants not parties to the appeal, we DENY appellee’s motion.
