615 F. App'x 245

Charles Dixon v. Richard Freese

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The court has carefully considered this appeal in light of the briefs and record. Having done so, we conclude that there is neither clear error nor any reversible error of law in the district court’s decision that the admission of a non-equity member by the unanimous agreement of the LLC’s equity members occurred substantially in accordance with Texas law. See Tex. Bus. Org. Code §§ 101.001(1) (“company agreement” defined to include written or oral agreements), 101.053 (each member must consent to an amendment of the company agreement), 101.103(c) (a non-equity member may be admitted on consent of all the company members); 101.102(c) (the company agreement may provide for admission of non-equity members), and 101.104(b) (rights of a class of members may be stated in the company agreement or at the time the class is established). Accordingly, we AFFIRM, for essentially the reasons stated by the trial court, its decision to dismiss the case for lack of federal jurisdiction.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cíe. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
