Decided: June 18, 2019

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT, PARISH OF ASSUMPTION

Granted in part. Considering our order in Crosstex Energy Services, LP v. Texas Brine Co., LLC, 2018-1128 (La. 10/29/18), 255 So. 3d 587, the judgment of the court of appeal is vacated insofar as it finds the district court is divested of jurisdiction to consider Texas Brine's fraud-based claims in the Crosstex matter. We hereby grant a limited remand of the Crosstex appeal in order to permit the district court to conduct the trial, as scheduled, of Texas Brine's fraud-based claims in the Crosstex matter only. In all other respects, the writs are denied.

PER CURIAM

Justices Weimer, Guidry, and Clark, would deny all applications. Justice Hughes would grant all applications.
