Motion filed by defendants Piedmont Petroleum Corp. and Brabham Oil Company, Inc. for leave to file sur-reply in opposition to motion to remand.
Two defendants asked for leave to file a sur-reply in opposition to the City of Charleston’s motion to remand its case to state court. The two companies argued that the City had raised a new argument in its supplemental reply that they could be liable under a failure to warn theory even if they did not participate in any alleged disinformation campaign.
