NUMBER 13-09-00320-CV



COURT OF APPEALS



THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS



CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG



IN RE: CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC.



On Relator's Petition for Writ of Mandamus



MEMORANDUM OPINION



Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam



Relator, Continental Airlines, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus with this Court alleging that respondent, the Honorable Israel Ramon Jr., presiding judge of the 430th Judicial District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, abused his discretion by granting the "Verified Petition to Take Deposition Before Suit" filed by the real party in interest, Cynthia S. Herrera as Attorney in Fact for Sylvia C. Tena, and by entering findings of fact and conclusions of law corresponding thereto. Relator also filed a "Emergency Motion for Temporary Relief" with this Court, which we granted on June 10, 2009.

Having reviewed and fully considered relator's petition for writ of mandamus, the clerk's record, and the response to relator's petition filed by the real party in interest, this Court is of the opinion that the relator has not shown itself entitled to the relief sought and that the petition should be denied. Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). Further, the stay of proceedings previously imposed by this Court in trial court cause number C-1223-09-J is hereby lifted.
