ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On July 22, 2008, relators, Pioneer Natural Resources Company and Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann '22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.  In their petition, relators request that we compel respondent, the Honorable Sharon McCally, presiding judge of the 334th District Court of Harris County, to vacate her July 3, 2008 order denying their motion for summary judgment on the issue of standing, grant the same, and dismiss the claims of real parties in interest, Mosh Holding, L.P., Dagger-Spine Hedgehog Corporation, and the Wiegand Group. 


Relators have not established their entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus.  Accordingly, we deny relators= petition for writ of mandamus and also deny relators= related emergency motion to stay proceedings.
