IN RE CHRISTOPHER BRAN, CBMJ INVESTMENTS & DEVELOPMENT, LLC, MONTROSE MULTIFAMILY II HOLDINGS, LLC, AND URBANONE PROPERTIES, LLC, Relators
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 164th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2020-20587
Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Poissant and Wilson.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On July 6, 2022, relators Christopher Bran, CBMJ Investments & Development, LLC, Montrose Multifamily II Holdings, LLC, and UrbanOne Properties, LLC filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable C. Elliott Thornton, presiding judge of the 164th District Court of Harris County, to vacate her June 11, 2022 order requiring turnover and appointing a receiver.
Relators have an adequate remedy by appeal, and in fact have appealed. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(1) (providing for interlocutory appeal from order appointing receiver). Therefore, relators have not shown that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relators' petition for writ of mandamus. We also deny relators' motion for emergency stay without prejudice to re-filing the motion under their current appeal.
Relators' appeal from the June 11, 2022 order is pending in this court in Christopher Bran, CBMJ Investments & Development, LLC, Montrose Multifamily II Holdngs, LLC and UrbanOne Properties, LLC v. Spectrum MH, LLC and Spectrum MHU, LLC, No. 14-22-00479-CV.
