in Re Kevan Casey, Jinsun LLC, and Far East Strategies LLC

Motion GRANTED and Order filed October 3, 2014. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-14-00783-CV ____________ IN RE KEVAN CASEY, JINSUN LLC, AND FAR EAST STRATEGIES LLC, Relators ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 113th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2012-54501 ORDER On October 1, 2014, relator Kevan Casey, Jinsun LLC, and Far East Strategies LLC, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. Relators ask this court to order the Honorable Michael Landrum, Judge of the 113th District Court, in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his order dated September 15, 2014, entered in trial court number 2012-54501, styled Khaled Alattar v. Kevan Casey, et al. Relators claim respondent abused his discretion by denying their motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Relators have also filed a motion for temporary stay of proceedings below. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. On October 1, 2014, relators asked this court to stay proceedings in the trial court pending a decision on the petition for writ of mandamus. It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relators’ request for relief requires further consideration and that relator will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relators’ motion and issue the following order: We ORDER all proceedings in trial court cause number 2012-54501, Khaled Alattar v. Kevan Casey, et al., STAYED until a final decision by this court on relators’ petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court. In addition, the court requests the real party-in-interest, to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before October 15, 2014. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.4. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices McCally, Brown, and Wise.
