Loren BREWER, Appellant v. SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, Schlumberge, N.V. a/k/a Schlumberger Limited and Jose Salazar Jr., Appellees
From the 79th Judicial District Court, Jim Wells County, Texas
Trial Court No. 14-09-53692-CV
Honorable Richard C. Terrell, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On March 20, 2017, this court issued an order requiring appellant to file a written response in this court showing cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction based on the untimeliness of the notice of appeal. Appellant filed a response on April 19, 2017, arguing this court should not dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction because the trial court's judgment was not final for purposes of filing the notice of appeal until the trial court prepared its findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the status of the Rig defendants. After reviewing the response, we ORDER appellees to file a written reply to appellant's response in this court on or before May 22, 2017.
We order the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on all counsel.
