IN RE IKON MIDSTREAM, LLC AND RHETT KENAGY, Relators
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 281st District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2022-47185
Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Zimmerer, and Hassan.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On May 8, 2024, relators Ikon Midstream, LLC and Rhett Kenagy filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency motion to stay in this Court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators asks this Court to compel the Honorable Christine Weems, presiding judge of the 281st District Court of Harris County, to vacate the trial court's May 2, 2024 order quashing relators' jury demand.
In their motion for emergency temporary relief, relators' request this Court stay the trial, which is preferentially set for May 20, 2024, pending the resolution of this mandamus.
It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relators' request for relief requires further consideration and that relators will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relators' motion and issue the following order:
We ORDER the trial in cause number, 2022-47185, Ikon Midstream, LLC v. Bunker One Services (USA) LLC, Synergy Supply & Trading, LLC, STAYED until a final decision by this court on relators' petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this Court.
Additionally, the Court requests the real parties in interest file a response to relators' petition for writ of mandamus by May 23, 2024.
