concluding that “discovery limited to ascertaining facts related to the jurisdictional plea” was proper in suit asserting claims arising from termination of teacher’s employment with diocese
How later courts described this case
- concluding that “discovery limited to ascertaining facts related to the jurisdictional plea” was proper in suit asserting claims arising from termination of teacher’s employment with diocese
- stating that “discovery limited to ascertaining facts related to the jurisdictional plea” was appropriate
- holding requested mandamus relief on jurisdictional issue was premature where trial court had yet to rule on it
- “Thus, we believe that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in taking steps to clarify the factual context of the Diocese’s jurisdictional challenge and that the mandamus at this stage of the proceeding is premature.”
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
LEE, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority in this case. The district court’s order limiting discovery was necessary to determine whether the court had jurisdiction over the suit.
