This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2012-CI-03086, styled Tom Hall, Thomas C. Hall, P.C. as Successor in Interest to Hall & Bates, L.L.P., Blake Dietzmann, Tim Patton and Timothy Patton, P.C. v.

Sakai presiding. --------
On April 16, 2015, relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court's order setting aside a jury verdict and granting a new trial in the underlying suit for breach of a contingent fee agreement between attorneys and their former client. Having considered relators' petition, the response and reply of the parties, and the oral arguments presented, this court is of the opinion that relators are not entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
