Moreno v. LG Electronics, USA Inc., No. 14-40563 (5th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed suit against her employer, LG entities, and others after plaintiff suffered a disabling injury at her workplace in Mexico. On appeal, plaintiff challenged the district court's order setting aside a clerk's entry of default against LG USA, grant of defendant's motion to dismiss on the basis of forum non conveniens, and denial as moot of plaintiff's motion for entry of default against LG Reynosa. The court affirmed the judgment, concluding that plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that the district court erred by setting aside LG USA’s default and granting its forum non conveniens motion in a single order. The court further concluded that, even assuming that the district court committed a procedural error by failing to give notice that it would rule on LG USA’s motion, plaintiff cannot demonstrate that any such error prejudiced her because she has presented no meritorious argument against dismissal.
