to stay proceedings. Relator subsequently filed an amended motion for stay and supplemental

writ of mandamus in this court no later than June 26, 2015. Any such response must conform
to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.
Relator’s request for emergency relief is GRANTED. The jury trial in the underlying
criminal proceeding, Cause No. 2014-CR-1384, styled The State of Texas v. Sylvia Martinez, is
temporarily stayed pending further order of this court.
It is so ORDERED on June 17, 2015.
