IN RE CHRISTOPHER WELDON MARTIN, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
ORDER
On January 18, 2011, Diana Ruth Lovell filed a notice of appeal from the trial
court’s order signed November 2, 2010. That appeal was assigned to this court under our
appellate case number 14-11-00055-CV. On December 7, 2011, Christopher Weldon
Martin filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this court to (1) order the trial court to
rule on certain motions, or (2) expedite the appeal. The original proceeding has been
assigned our case number 14-11-01048-CV.
Today, the court, on its own motion, orders that the petition for writ of mandamus
be considered with the appeal. The cases are scheduled for oral argument on February
14, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. The parties shall have fifteen minutes per side for argument in the
consolidated cases, with appellant/relator reserving any time desired for rebuttal.
The court further requests the real party in interest in case number 14-11-01048-CV,
who is the appellant in appeal number 14-11-00055-CV, to file a response to the petition
for writ of mandamus. The response is due on or before January 27, 2012.
