COURT OF APPEALS



THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG



IN RE: LOUISE SWANTNER-CARTER



On Petition for Writ of Mandamus



MEMORANDUM OPINION



Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Benavides

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

On March 11, 2008, relator, Mary Louise Swantner-Carter, filed a petition for writ of mandamus with this Court in which she alleges that respondent, the Honorable Marisela Saldaña, Presiding Judge of the 148th Judicial District Court of Nueces County, Texas, abused her discretion by granting the real parties interest plea in abatement.

Relator's petition for writ of mandamus asks this Court to order the respondent to vacate her order denying the plea in abatement in trial court cause number 07-2292-E.



The real parties in interest, William M. Tosheff, II, Michelle L. Emura, Steven Tosheff, and George Alexander Tosheff, and Frost National Bank, filed their response to the petition for writ of mandamus on March 28, 2008.

The Court, having examined and fully considered relator's petition for writ of mandamus and the real parties in interest response, is of the opinion that the petition for writ of mandamus should be denied.

Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is hereby DENIED. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
