MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Benavides
Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion (1)
Relator, John Paul Hess, filed a petition for writ of mandamus and a motion for emergency stay in the above cause on January 26, 2007. (2) The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus with appendix, the response with appendix filed by real party in interest, Donna Johnson, the reporter's record and the supplementation of the record, is of the opinion that relator has not shown himself entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
On January 26, 2007, this Court granted relator's motion for emergency stay of the trial court's orders dated January 22, 2007 and January 24, 2007, ordering production of documents identified in Exhibit A attached to real party's amended notice of intent to take Hess's oral deposition dated December 7, 2006. Having denied the petition, the stay is hereby lifted.
Furthermore, real party in interest's request for sanctions is denied.
