OLIVER RESOURCES PLC v. INTERNATIONAL FINANCE

No. 94-20500.

62 F.3d 128 (1995)

OLIVER RESOURCES PLC and Oliver Resources, (Argentina) SA, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

August 30, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mark P. Gergen, Austin, TX, Joel Muscat, Bernard E. Brooks, Ronald S. Block, Block & Muscat, Stafford, TX, for appellants.

J. Clifford Gunter, III, Sarah Pierce Cowen, Bracewell & Patterson, Houston, TX, for appellee.

Before WISDOM, DUHÉ and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.


BENAVIDES, Circuit Judge:

This appeal concerns both tort and contract actions brought by a putative assignee against one of the original parties to a joint venture. Because we find that the tort claims are barred by the statute of limitations and the putative assignee does not have standing under Texas law to bring a contract claim, we affirm the district court's granting of summary judgment against the putative assignee.
