IN RE CAROL JOHNENE MORRIS
Original Proceeding
Panel consists of: Bailey, C.J., Trotter, J., and Wright, S.C.J.
Jim R. Wright, Senior Chief Justice (Retired), Court of Appeals, 11th District of Texas at Eastland, sitting by assignment.
ORDER
JOHN M. BAILEY CHIEF JUSTICE
All three justices on this court, as well as Senior Chief Justice Jim R. Wright who has been assigned to the panel for this proceeding, have recused themselves from participating in this mandamus proceeding. See Tex. R. App. P. 16.2; Tex.R.Civ.P. 18b(b). Because there is now an insufficient number of justices available to constitute a panel of the court to hear this appeal, this court requests the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas to transfer this appeal to another court of appeals for that court to file and decide this appeal. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 73.001 (West Supp. 2023); Miles v. Ford Motor Co., 914 S.W.2d 135, 137 (Tex. 1995).
We direct the chief deputy clerk of this court to send a notice of this order to the Texas Supreme Court, the Relator, and the Respondent.
We note that the clerk of this court is the Respondent in this proceeding.
Williams, J., not participating.
