This proceeding arises from a personal injury sustained by Bruce Masson,
the real party in interest, alleged to have occurred during his employment on a
drilling rig temporarily docked at a Malaysian port. Diamond Offshore Drilling,

the trial court’s interlocutory order denying their motion to dismiss for forum non
conveniens.1
We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. All pending motions are denied
as moot.
