2005.  Kelco
Sales & Engineering Company filed a motion to join the  petition for writ of mandamus on July

Vulcan Materials
Company has now filed a motion requesting that this Court  dismiss it from this original
proceeding because it has been non-suited in the underlying proceeding.  Kelco remains a relator in this original proceeding.




We GRANT Vulcan
Materials Company=s motion to dismiss.  Accordingly, this original proceeding is
DISMISSED.  The original proceeding filed
by Kelco Sales & Engineering Company is ordered
SEVERED and will be assigned cause number 13-05-539-CV.  We ORDER the Clerk of this Court to transfer
all pleadings and records relevant to Kelco=s petition for
writ of mandamus from this cause number to cause number 13-05-539-CV.
            The
Court requests that real parties in interest file a response to Kelco=s petition for writ of mandamus on or
before August 30, 2005.  Any such
response should be filed in the severed cause.
