IN RE UBS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., DEBRA PELHAM, AND KREG PEARLESS, Relators
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
333rd District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2019-82010
ORDER
On January 29, 2020, relators UBS Financial Services Inc., Debra Pelham, and Kreg Pearless filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. Relators ask this court to order the Honorable Daryl L. Moore, Judge of the 333rd District Court, in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his order dated January 8, 2020, entered in trial court number 2019-82010, styled In re Petition of Deneige Dooley Requesting Deposition before Suit.
Relators have also filed a motion for temporary stay of proceedings below. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. On January 29, 2020, 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 the January 8, 2020 order entered trial court cause number 2019-82010, In re Petition of Deneige Dooley Requesting Deposition before Suit, 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 Deneige Dooley, real party-in-interest, to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before February 14, 2020. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.4.
PER CURIAM Panel Consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Poissant. (Justice Poissant would vote to deny the motion to stay).
