TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-15-00190-CV
In re Wimberley Springs Partners, Ltd.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM HAYS COUNTY
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus and a motion for temporary relief
pending disposition of its mandamus petition. In the motion for temporary relief, relator has
asked this Court to stay four rulings of respondent: (1) that relator’s plea in abatement did not
automatically trigger abatement; (2) that real parties in interest’s defamation counterclaims are
severed; (3) that depositions of non-parties are to proceed on April 1, 2015, and April 6, 2015; and
(4) that good cause exists to allow discovery on relator’s Anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss. We grant
the motion for temporary relief in part as to ruling (3) and stay the district court’s ruling that compels
depositions to take place on Wednesday, April 1, 2015, and Monday, April 6, 2015, pending further
order of this Court. We request that real parties in interest file a response to the motion for
temporary relief and mandamus petition no later than 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 9, 2015.
It is so ordered March 31, 2015.
