November 2, 199539 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 83
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court dismissed Dow Chemical's petitions for writ of mandamus as moot because the court lacks authority to reunite severed claims after removal to federal court. The Court held it could not grant the requested relief and vacated its stay. Justice BAKER dissented, arguing the proceedings should be abated until remand.
