IN RE TRANSCONTINENTAL GAS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC, ET AL., Relators


ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
127th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2015-62416

ORDER

On June 8, 2017, relators Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company, LLC, et al., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. Relators ask this court to compel the Honorable R.K. Sandill, Judge of the 127th District Court, in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his order dated April 3, 2017, entered in trial court number 2015-62416, styled Kristine Phillippe, et al. v. Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company, LLC, et al., and dismiss all claims of real parties in interest for forum non conveniens.

Relators also filed a motion for temporary stay of proceedings below. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. On June 8, 2017, relators 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 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 all proceedings in trial court cause number 2015-62416, Kristine Phillippe, et al. v. Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company, LLC, et al., STAYED until a final decision by this court on relators' petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court.

In addition, the court requests real parties in interest, to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before June 26, 2017. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.4.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Brown, and Wise.
