MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Castillo

Opinion Per Curiam

 

          Relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on June 3, 2004, requesting a writ directing Respondent, the Honorable Manuel Bañales, Presiding Judge of the 105th Judicial District Court of Nueces County, to vacate his order dated May 27, 2004 denying relators’ motion to quash the oral deposition of Keith Weikel and motion for protective order and granting the real parties in interest’s motion to compel the deposition of Weikel. The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus, the response, the reply, and the record, is of the opinion that said petition should be denied. Accordingly, we DENY relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. The stay imposed by order of this court dated June 16, 2004 is hereby lifted.
