In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-20-00331-CV
CITY OF CARROLLTON, Appellant
V.
1533 CRESCENT LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from the 14th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-19-09123
ORDER
This accelerated appeal follows the trial court’s February 27, 2020 order
denying the City of Carrollton and Brett King, Building Official of the City, In His
Official Capacity’s plea to the jurisdiction as to claims brought against them by
1533 Crescent LLC and granting the City and King’s plea as to claims brought
against them by LRF1 Dallas Logistics 1 LLC (“Longpoint”). Both the City and
Longpoint have appealed, but the Court’s case management system has designated
Longpoint’s appeal as a cross-appeal. The appellate record has been filed, and the
City’s opening brief is currently due April 12, 2020.
Because Longpoint is not a true cross-appellant, we SEVER Longpoint’s
appeal from this appeal for administrative purposes and assign Longpoint’s appeal
appellate cause number 05-20-00401-CV. Longpoint’s appeal shall be designated
as a companion to this appeal and shall be styled LRF1 Dallas Logistics 1 LLC v.
City of Carrollton and Brett King, Building Official of the City, In His Official
Capacity.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to transfer Longpoint’s notice of appeal
and docketing statement as well as a copy of the appellate record and this order to
cause number 05-20-00401-CV.
We ORDER appellant’s opening brief in each appeal be filed no later than
April 20, 2020.
