In re: TYSON FOODS, INC.
Original Mandamus Proceeding
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Tyson Foods, Inc., has filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this Court to direct the County Court at Law of Panola County to vacate its order granting a motion for protection and quashing the deposition of Texas Department of Public Safety Officer Billy Wallace.
Wallace's deposition was noticed in connection with trial court cause number 2010-00477, which was scheduled for a jury trial on November 5. In connection with the instant petition, Tyson filed a motion to stay the trial on November 2 pending determination of the petition for writ of mandamus. On November 2, this Court overruled Tyson's motion to stay the trial.
The intervening resolution of trial court cause number 2010-00477 has rendered Tyson's petition for writ of mandamus moot.
The underlying lawsuit was resolved via mediation on November 5, 2012.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
