ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On March 29, 2005, relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004-05); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In their petition, relators seek to have this court compel the Honorable Ben Hardin, presiding judge of the 23rd District Court of Brazoria County, to set aside his order denying their motion to compel arbitration and require him to compel arbitration and stay the underlying proceedings  in cause number 21815*BH02.  Relators also filed in this court an emergency motion to stay all trial court proceedings pending a ruling on their petition.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10.


Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief.  Accordingly, we deny relators= petition for writ of mandamus and motion for emergency stay.
