Tyler Dismissals
Two civil cases out of Tyler today, both resulting in dismissals.
Judge J. Campbell Barker
R&R recommending remand granted
In fairness, it was a joint request for remand based on insufficient $$$ in dispute, and the R&R wasn’t objected to, but still, a win’s a win.
No Service Extension for You (But Let’s Talk)
Neither judge believed that the plaintiff showed good cause supporting a mandatory extension of the service deadline – but reserved judgment on whether a discretionary extension was warranted.
