Relator seeks a writ compelling the Honorable Gary Sanderson, Judge of the 60th District Court, to vacate its order of February 4, 2014, which compelled production of documents that Relator contends are subject to objections and assertions of privilege. We note our jurisdiction over this matter and the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004). 1 Relator alleges that prejudice will result if production occurs before the issues raised in the petition for writ of mandamus can be resolved.
