On January 12, 2023, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency motion to stay pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus.

Relator's emergency motion for temporary stay is GRANTED IN PART as follows:
1. All pretrial settings requiring relator's in-person appearance are STAYED pending further order from this court. Pretrial settings that do not require relator's in-person appearance may proceed.
2. The January 23, 2023 trial setting is STAYED pending further order from this court.
It is so ORDERED.
