ORDER Trial court case number: 475348 Trial court: Probate Court No. 1 of Harris County
On October 30, 2020, relator, Joan Gottlieb Mendell, individually and in her capacity as Trustee of the MK Trust No. 2, filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging the trial court's October 22, 2020 "Order Granting Permanent Injunction Pursuant to Texas Trust Code § 114.008." The trial court's October 22, 2020 order requires that relator take various actions with respect to the MK Trust No. 2, including certain actions which are to be completed within ten days of the date of the October 22, 2020 order, on or before November 1, 2020.
In connection with her mandamus petition, relator filed an "Emergency Motion for Temporary Relief" with this Court, requesting that we stay the enforcement of the trial court's October 22, 2020 order pending our consideration of relator's mandamus petition. On October 30, 2020, we issued an order staying enforcement of the trial court's October 22, 2020 order, but further requested real parties in interest Laurence Scott and Rachel Chaput file a written response to relator's emergency motion.
Pursuant to our order, the response from real parties in interest was due to be filed by November 5, 2020. On November 5, 2020, real parties in interest filed an unopposed motion requesting an extension of seven days to file their response as required by our October 30, 2020 order, representing to the Court that the parties are in discussions "to work out an agreement that would moot both the emergency motion and the mandamus" petition filed by relator.
Accordingly, the motion filed by real parties in interest is granted. The response from real parties in interest to relator's October 30, 2020 emergency motion is due on or before November 12, 2020.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Terry Adams
