Per Curiam Order
Relators Emma Perez Trevino, Carlos Sanchez, Marci Caltabiano-Ponce, Valley Morning Star, The McAllen Monitor, and Aim Media Texas, LLC filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on February 7, 2018. This matter arises from proceedings on remand following an interlocutory appeal in a case arising under the Texas Citizens Participation Act. See generally TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. §§ 27.001-.011 (West, Westlaw through 2017 1st C.S.). Through this original proceeding, relators seek to compel the trial court to (1) vacate its November 7, 2017, December 13, 2017, and December 20, 2017 orders as void; (2) reinstate its October 3, 2017 order awarding the Monitor its reasonable attorney's fees and costs, and (3) enter an additional order awarding the Monitor its fees, costs, and expenses for the September 19, 2017 and November 21, 2017 hearings and this mandamus proceeding.
The Court requests that the real party in interest, Mark Cantu, or any others whose interest would be directly affected by the relief sought, file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 8th day of February, 2018.
