IN RE JAMES ARTHUR DUSSLIERE
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Longoria
Per CuriamOrder
Relator, James Arthur Dussliere, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on June 28, 2016. Through this original proceeding, relator contends that the trial court has abused its discretion by setting a divorce for final hearing on July 11, 2016 with only twenty days of notice and without first setting a hearing on relator's plea in abatement. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 245.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus, is of the opinion that the proceedings below should be stayed in order to preserve the status quo and to facilitate our review on the merits. Accordingly, we ORDER the trial court's final hearing currently set for July 11, 2016 to be STAYED pending further order of this Court, or until the case is finally decided. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.10(b) ("Unless vacated or modified, an order granting temporary relief is effective until the case is finally decided."). The Court requests that the real party in interest, Yolanda Stahlke, or any others whose interest would be directly affected by the relief sought, file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days from the date of this order. See id. R. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM Delivered and filed this 29th day of June, 2016.
