Robin Gibbs had always predicted that this was the likely result. We will now proceed with the battle over class certification in Kansas, which,unlike Texas, is not necessarily appealable. I will keep you posted.. ----- Forwarded by Richard B Sanders/HOU/ECT on 01/12/2001 12:25 PM ----- "Tetrault, Charles D." 01/12/2001 11:58 AM To: "Richard B. Sanders (E-mail)" , "Andrew M.

Pickens (E-mail)" Subject: Remand Andy is calling now, but for those of you he does reach immediately, here is a short report based on a conversation that he had with Mike Beatty. Judge Downes granted the motion to remand. A short written order will be out later today or Monday. He apparently read from a draft of the order, and Mike Beatty says that it was written in high level generalities about presumptions in favor of remand, burden to establish removal jurisdiction, etc. and did not address the details of our federal jurisdiction (e.g., OCSLA) arguments. More later today. Charles D. Tetrault Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. 1455 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.
