IN RE ERNIE R. WEST, Relator


ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
312th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2016-85288

ORDER

On November 7, 2017, relator Ernie R. West filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. Relator asks this court to compel the Honorable David Farr, Judge of the 312th District Court in Harris County, Texas, to vacate his October 20, 2017 order compelling relator's appearance at a deposition on November 10, 2017.

Relator has also filed a motion for temporary stay of the order compelling his deposition pending a decision on the petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10.

It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relator's request for relief requires further consideration and that relator will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relator's motion and issue the following order:

We ORDER the trial court's order compelling the deposition of Ernie R. West STAYED until a final decision by this court on relator's petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Donovan, and Jewell (Donovan, J., voted to deny the motion for stay).
