February 25, 2000.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Brendan D. Cook (argued), Sherry Louise Deaver, Verner, Liipfert, Bernard, McPherson, Hand & Chartered, Houston, TX, for Plaintiffs-Appellants.

Stephen W. Schueler, Winstead, Sechrest & Minick, Ann Ryan Robertson (argued), Houston, TX, for Defendants-Appellees.

Before KING, Chief Judge, and REYNALDO G. GARZA and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.


KING, Chief Judge:

Plaintiffs-Appellants challenge the district court's grant of Defendants-Appellees' motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and for forum non conveniens. They also challenge a magistrate judge's order denying them discovery on matters they argue are relevant to the personal jurisdiction issue. We conclude that the district court did not err in dismissing the case against all of the defendants and therefore affirm.
