IN RE CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS
Original Proceeding 60th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. A-192,887-A
Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Wright, JJ.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
The City of Beaumont, Texas, Relator, filed a petition for a writ of mandamus and a motion for temporary relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52. Relator is a defendant in Trial Cause Number A-192,887-A, James Mathews v. City of Beaumont, Texas. Relator seeks a writ compelling the Honorable Justin Gary Sanderson, Judge of the 60th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, to vacate a June 19, 2023 Amended Order on Defendant's Traditional and No Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment and grant the City's motion for summary judgment. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221.
Relator requests that all further proceedings in the trial court be stayed while this Court considers the mandamus petition. The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It is ORDERED that all further trial court proceedings in Trial Cause Number A-192,887-A are STAYED until our opinion issues or until further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required of Relator as a condition to any relief herein granted.
The response of the Real Party in Interest, James Mathews, is due July 5, 2023.
MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.
