ORDER
PER CURIAM
Following a March 15, 2022, hearing, the trial court signed an order entitled "Benchmark Hearing After Final Order" (the "March 15 order").
On March 21, 2022, the Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the March 15 order. Relator also filed a motion asking this Court to stay: the March 15 order, "further orders regarding the creation of contracts or the payment of funds regarding this child's placement and services," and "any contempt proceedings, sanctions, or any enforcement of the March 15, 2022, order."
Given the time constraints, the Relator has not been able to obtain a transcript of the hearing. We ORDER Relator to file, no later than April 1, 2022, a transcript of the March 15, 2022, hearing.
We GRANT the motion for temporary emergency relief as follows:
1. The trial court's "Benchmark Hearing After Final Order" rendered on March 15, 2022 and signed on March 17, 2022 is STAYED pending further order of this Court.
2. Any further proceedings regarding the creation of contracts or the payment of funds regarding the child's placement and services are STAYED pending further order of this Court.
3. Any contempt proceedings, sanctions, or any enforcement of the "Benchmark Hearing After Final Order" are STAYED pending further order of this Court.
It is so ORDERED.
