Kahana Feld successfully obtained dismissal of a lawsuit in the 95th Judicial District Court of Dallas County. The Court granted our Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution, agreeing that the plaintiff failed to diligently pursue their claims after more than 18 months of inactivity, despite an upcoming trial date.
Our team demonstrated that the plaintiff had not initiated discovery or scheduled depositions, and furthermore, the delay was not excused by former counsel’s withdrawal. Consequently, the judge declined the plaintiff’s request for additional time and dismissed the case without prejudice.
The Kahana Feld team consisted of Farrah Ahmed and Rick Chavez. This result demonstrates our team’s command of procedural law in defending against prolonged and inactive claims, highlighting the value of experienced counsel in achieving client-focused outcomes.
