JUDGMENT
This court has considered relators’ petitions for a writ of mandamus and is
of the opinion that relief should be granted in part and denied in part.
We conditionally grant Shyla Lipsky’s and Alisa Rich’s petitions for a writ of
mandamus, order the trial court to set aside its February 16, 2012 order denying
their motions to dismiss, and order the trial court to enter an order dismissing
Range Production Company’s and Range Resources Corporation’s claims
against them.
We conditionally grant, in part, Steven Lipsky’s petition for a writ of
mandamus, order the trial court to set aside its February 16, 2012 order denying
his motion to dismiss to the extent that the motion concerned Range Production
Company’s and Range Resources Corporation’s civil conspiracy and aiding and
abetting claims, and order the trial court to enter an order dismissing those
claims against him. We deny the remainder of the relief sought by Steven
Lipsky.
A writ of mandamus will issue only in the event the trial court fails to
comply with our instructions within thirty days of the date of this opinion and
judgment.
It is further ordered that Range Production Company and Range
Resources Corporation shall pay all of the costs of this proceeding, for which let
execution issue.
