Original Court Document: View Document
Burlington Resources Oil and Gas Company, LP filed an interlocutory appeal against Warwick-Athena, LLC and Texas Crude Energy, LLC, contesting the trial court's denial of its motion to dismiss under the Texas Citizens Participation Act. The trial court proceedings were automatically stayed due to the appeal. The parties jointly requested the lifting of this stay to allow the trial court to rule on Burlington's motion to seal confidential documents. The Court of Appeals granted this joint motion, recognizing that the mandatory stay could be waived by agreement, as supported by precedent cases. The court ordered the automatic stay lifted solely for the purpose of allowing the trial court to make a ruling on the sealing motion and directed the district clerk to supplement the appellate record with the trial court’s order within ten days of its issuance. The order was delivered on September 24, 2019.
