Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00921-CV
FLUOR CORPORATION, FLUOR ENTERPRISES, INC., AND FLUOR
DANIEL MEXICO, S.A., Appellants
V.
E.D.G.M., Appellee
On Appeal from the 298th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-15978
ORDER
This case began as a suit between E.D.G.M.’s parents and appellants.
Approximately fifteen months after the parents filed the suit, E.D.G.M. intervened.
The appeal challenges the trial court’s interlocutory orders denying appellants’
motion to dismiss E.D.G.M.’s claims for forum non conveniens and motion to
strike E.D.G.M.’s intervention. A related appeal, appellate cause number 05-19-
00970-CV, was filed by the parents and challenges the trial court’s order granting
appellants’ motion to dismiss the parents’ claims for forum non conveniens.
Although this appeal was deemed filed October 3, 2019, the clerk’s record
has not been filed. A review of the clerk’s record in the related appeal reveals the
trial court severed E.D.G.M.’s claims from the parents’ claims. Per the order of
severance, signed July 12, 2019, the Dallas County District Clerk was to assign
E.D.G.M.’s claims a new style and separate cause number and create a new file
which was to include twenty-seven documents identified in the order. The record
of the related appeal does not reflect the style and cause number assigned to the
new file.
So that the appeal may proceed, we ORDER Dallas County District Clerk
Felicia Pitre to file, no later than March 9, 2020, the clerk’s record which shall
include the twenty-seven documents identified in the July 12th severance order and
be filed under the correct–the new–style and trial court cause number. Because
this is an accelerated appeal, extension requests will be disfavored.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to Ms. Pitre
and the parties.
