Description
Original Proceeding In this original proceeding, petitioners Larry E. Driscoll and Driscoll Lease Operations, Inc. (jointly
referred to as Driscoll) petition this court for relief in the nature of prohibition to prevent the respondent district court
from conducting further pretrial and trial proceedings in the case of Marmac Petroleum Co. v. Larry E. Driscoll and Driscoll
Lease Operations, Inc., Case No. 91-CV-4887, District Court, City and County of Denver. The underlying suit involves the purchase by the Marmac Petroleum Co. (Marmac) of several oil leases from Driscoll. Driscoll,
the defendant in that case, was granted summary judgment on all issues. Marmac filed a motion requesting the district court
to reconsider its summary judgment order. Because the district court did not rule on the motion for reconsideration within
sixty days, the motion was deemed denied under C.R.C.P. 59(j). However, the district court continued to take actions in the
case that indicated it intended to proceed to trial. Driscoll petitioned this court for relief prohibiting the district court
from proceeding for lack of jurisdiction. We issued a rule to show cause why we should not grant Driscoll's petition, and
now make the rule absolute.
