IN RE WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., BANK OF MONTREAL, THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, THOMAS E. MCGRAW, AND TROY JEFFERSON
Original Proceeding
ORDER
On February 28, 2014, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank Of Montreal, The Prudential Insurance Company Of America, Thomas E. Mcgraw, And Troy Jefferson filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the judge of the 58th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas to grant a continuance of the trial and permit additional discovery in trial court case number A-189,693. On March 7, 2014, the judge recused himself from further consideration of the case. We may abate a mandamus proceeding when a trial judge recuses after the mandamus proceeding is filed. See In re Blevins, No. 12-0636, 2013 WL 5878910, at *2 (Tex. Nov. 1, 2013) (orig. proceeding).
This original proceeding is hereby abated for thirty days, to provide the relator with the opportunity to present this matter to the successor judge. Id., see also Tex. R. App. P. 7.2(b). The supplemental mandamus record is due May 12, 2014. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(b). Our temporary order of March 3, 2014, remains in effect. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b).
