ORDER
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of Montreal, The Prudential Insurance
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.
The response of the real parties in interest, Conex Holdings, Inc., John
Duplissey, James Duplissey, and William Harrington, is due March 13, 2014, at
5:00 p.m.
