I After Crosstex 0832 was decided, this court decided Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC v. Texas
Brine Company, LLC, 22- 1036 ( La. App. 1 Cir. 4/ 18/ 23),                                                                               5o. 3d ,                2023 WL 2985097 ( Florida Gas
1036),   and again considered another identical judgment by the same trial court, on the same day, in a
third trial court docket number, i.e., Twenty -Third JDC Docket No. 34, 316. As did the CrosstexO832Court
before it, the Florida Gas 1036 Court dismissed Texas Brine's appeal.

                                                                                                       2

2 In light of this opinion and the parties' appearance at oral argument, we deny as moot Texas Brine' s
February 8, 2023 Motion to Remand Issues Presented by this Appeal and Cancel Oral Argument Due to
Improvident Granting of Article 1915( B) Certification, that was filed with this Court.
