RFR Industries, Inc. v. Rex-Hide Industries, Inc.

Citation: 186 F. App'x 1000Docket: Nos. 2005-1587, 2006-1284

Narrative Opinion Summary

RFR Industries, Inc.’s amended notice of appeal concerning postjudgment orders from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas was incorrectly docketed as a separate appeal (2006-1284).

Consequently, the court has ordered that appeal 2006-1284 be dismissed due to improper docketing, and the revised official captions have been updated accordingly.
