Experience

Representative Experience

  • Obtained an order dismissing the case with prejudice following a successful motion to dismiss under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The client successfully demonstrated that it had immunity from the majority of the plaintiffs' claims under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and that the plaintiffs were otherwise unable to state a viable cause of action on their remaining claims for breach of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and for breach of implied warranty of merchantability.
  • Successfully obtained summary judgment dismissal of the action with prejudice. After the client, a distributor of automotive products and solvents, made a prima facie showing of entitlement to summary judgment based on indemnity agreements and pass-through liability theory of defense, the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the client had any independent liability for which it was not entitled to indemnification from the product manufacturer(s).
