Crescent Real Estate Equities Company 
777 Main Street, Suite 2100 Fort
Worth, Texas 76102

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have acted as counsel to Crescent Real Estate Equities Company, a Texas
real estate investment trust (the "Company"), in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 16,671,565 common
shares of beneficial interest of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Shares"), and 2,070,000 $3.50 Convertible Preferred Shares of
beneficial interest of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred
Shares")  pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4, including the proxy
statement/prospectus and all amendments, exhibits and documents related thereto
(collectively, the "Registration Statement"), and with the proposed issuance of
the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares in accordance with an agreement and
plan of merger, dated as of January 16, 1998, as amended (the "Merger
Agreement"), by and among the Company and Station Casinos, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("Station"), as described in the Registration Statement.

    Based upon our examination of the originals or copies of such documents,
corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and other instruments
as we have deemed necessary and upon the laws as presently in effect, we are of
the opinion that the Common Shares have been duly authorized for issuance by the
Company and that, upon issuance and delivery in accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement, the Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. We are also of the opinion that, upon the filing of the Statement
of Designation relating to the Preferred Shares as required by applicable law
in the form approved by, and in accordance with the authorization and at the
direction of, the Board of Trust Managers of the Company (or a committee or
other persons authorized thereby), and upon issuance and delivery of the
Preferred Shares as contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the Preferred Shares
will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

#### John A. GALBREATH, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. John DUDAS, Director, Patent and Trademark Office, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 04-1260.

United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.

Dec. 8, 2004.

Before MAYER, Chief Judge, NEWMAN and CLEVENGER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

John A. Galbreath appeals the decision of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dismissing his case for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. *Galbreath v. Rogan,*No. 02-2354 (D.D.C. Dec. 9, 2003). We *affirm.*

Whether Galbreath’s complaint was properly dismissed for failure to state a claim is a question of law reviewed *de novo. Gould, Inc. v. United States,*935 F.2d 1271, 1273 (Fed.Cir.1991). Under Rule 8(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Galbreath’s claim must: (1) contain a short and plain statement of the court’s jurisdiction; (2) a short and plain statement of a claim showing that he is entitled to relief; and (3) a demand for judgment. While we will construe his complaint liberally, *see Conley v. Gibson,*355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957), it will not survive a motion to dismiss unless it gives the United States *747Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) fair notice of what his claim is and the grounds upon which it rests. *See id.*at 47, 78 S.Ct. 99. Also, under Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Galbreath was permitted to either obtain written consent from the PTO or petition the trial court to amend his complaint at any time prior to entry of the trial court’s order for dismissal. The trial court could have allowed amendment if justice so required. *Id.*

Galbreath contends that the trial court erred in finding his three-paragraph complaint insufficient. But even liberally construed, the complaint neither cites error in the PTO’s rejection of his patent application’s claims, nor shows why his claims should be allowed. His Statement of the Claims merely states the fact that the PTO rejected his claims. Thus, he fails to provide an adequate statement entitling him to relief. Finally, even absent written consent to amend from the PTO, Galbreath could have, but did not, petition the trial court for leave to amend.

         "The total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation shall
