IN RE MATTHEW WALTER MAHONEY, Relator
On Appeal from the 247th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2006-45711
ORDER
On June 23, 2015, relator Matthew Walter Mahoney filed both a petition for writ of habeas corpus and a petition for writ of mandamus with this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. Relator asks this court to order the Honorable John Schmude, Judge of the 247th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas, to vacate the trial court's February 6, 2015 order holding relator in contempt.
It appears from the facts stated in the petitions that relator's request for relief requires further consideration and that relator will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. See Tex. R. App. p. 52.8(b), 52.10.
We therefore ORDER that the July 8, 2015 proceeding at 9:30 a.m. on the motion to revoke suspension of relator's commitment be stayed in trial court cause number 2006-45711, styled In re K.M.M. & M.W.M. Such proceeding is stayed until final decision by this court of relator's petitions for writ of habeas corpus and writ of mandamus, or until further orders of this court.
A response to the petitions is hereby requested to be filed on or before July 21, 2015.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Jamison and Busby. (Jamison, J., would vote to deny relator's motion to stay).
