ORDER
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Stoddart
Before the Court is relator's unopposed motion to consolidate this original proceeding with appellate cause number 05-18-00307-CV, styled John Goin v. Hope Crunp. We GRANT the motion IN PART and DENY the motion IN PART.
We ORDER cause number 05-18-00284-CV CONSOLIDATED into cause number 05-18-00307-CV. We DIRECT the Clerk of Court to remove all documents from cause number 05-18-00284-CV and refile them in cause number 05-18-00307-CV and to treat cause number 05-18-00284-CV as a closed case. We ORDER that all future pleadings be filed in and bear only cause number 05-18-00307-CV.
We DENY relator's request that the Court treat his petition for writ of mandamus, mandamus appendix, and mandamus record as his appellant's brief, appendix, and appellate record in the consolidated proceeding.
This consolidation order does not alter any pending deadlines in cause number 05-18-00307-CV. The clerk's record, reporter's record, and the parties' briefs will be due in accordance with the rules of appellate procedure applicable to accelerated appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.1, 38.6. Appellant and appellee should each file a consolidated brief addressing all issues related to the appeal and the original proceeding. Appellant may file a reply brief as permitted by the rules of appellate procedure. We defer to the submissions panel to address each issue presented under the applicable standards.
