COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
IN RE NATIONAL LLOYDS INSURANCE COMPANY
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza
Order Per Curiam
Relator, National Lloyds Insurance Company, filed a petition for writ of mandamus
in the above causes on December 15, 2014 through which it contends that the trial court
abused its discretion by: (1) ordering relator to produce “all management reports and
accompanying emails used to manage its internal financial and personnel information
when those reports admittedly are irrelevant to an insured’s claim that they were
underpaid on their hailstorm damage”; and (2) sanctioning relator for refusing to produce
the irrelevant reports “when the reports are not discoverable, and the basis for sanctions
was an affidavit introduced for the first time at the hearing and not subject to cross-
examination.” The Court requests that the real parties in interest, identified in this original
proceeding as “[p]laintiffs represented by the Mostyn Law Firm in this MDL litigation, titled
In re March 29, 2012 and April 20, 2012 Hail Storm Litigation,” arising from cause
numbers MDL-13-0123 and MDL-13-0130, or any others whose interest would be directly
affected by the relief sought, file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus in these
cause numbers 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
17th day of December, 2014.
