ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
312th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2015-65897
ORDER
On May 30, 2017, relator Gladys N. Minix filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. Relator asks this court to order the Honorable David Farr, Judge of the 312th District Court, in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his order dated April 27, 2107, issued in trial court number 2015-65897, styled In the Interest of A.S.A. Relator claims respondent abused his discretion by denying her motion to enter judgment on a mediated settlement agreement.
Relator has also filed a motion for temporary stay of proceedings below. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. On June 1, 2017, relator asked this court to stay proceedings in the trial court pending a decision on the petition for writ of mandamus.
It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relator's request for relief requires further consideration and that relator will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relator's motion and issue the following order:
We ORDER the commencement of trial in trial court cause number 2015-65897, In the Interest of A.S.A., STAYED until a final decision by this court on relator's petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Jamison and Busby.
