Company of America, Thomas E. McGraw, and Troy Jefferson filed a petition for

writ of mandamus. The relators are defendants in Cause No. A-189,693. Relators

seek a writ compelling the Honorable Robert J. Wortham, Judge of the 58th

District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, to grant a continuance of the trial of the

case and permit additional discovery. We note our jurisdiction over this matter and

the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004).

 Relators request temporary relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(a). The Court

finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It is ORDERED

that jury selection in Cause No. A-189,693 is STAYED until our Opinion issues or

until further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required

of the relators as a condition to any relief herein granted.

Duplissey, James Duplissey, and William Harrington, is due March 13, 2014, at
