IN RE MARK A. METZGER JR., Relator





Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Prohibition





MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relator, Mark A. Metzger Jr. (“Metzger”), has filed a petition for writ of prohibition complaining of the trial court’s June 30, 2006 oral ruling ordering Metzger to deposit with the trial court clerk $168,000 as security to suspend judgment. After due consideration, the Court denies the petition for writ of prohibition. The Court also denies Metzger’s request for emergency relief.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Taft, Higley, and Bland.
