IN RE AMERICAN FISHERIES, INC., Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, American Fisheries, Inc., submitted a petition for writ of mandamus
late on Saturday, April 4, 2015, which was not filed in this Court until April 6,
2015, seeking to compel the respondent trial court to vacate its order, signed on
March 24, 2015, granting the real parties in interest’s motion to strike third-party
defendant Feng Shao’s deposition, and its April 2, 2015 order denying the relator’s
motion to reconsider the March 24th order.1 With their petition, relator also
submitted an emergency motion for temporary relief late on Saturday, April 4,
2015, which was also not filed in this Court until April 6, 2015, seeking a stay of
the jury trial set for April 6, 2015, pending resolution of their petition. The Court,
having examined and considered the petition and appendix, is of the opinion that
relator has not established itself entitled to the mandamus relief sought.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 52.8(a), (d). We dismiss the emergency motion for temporary relief as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Bland, and Massengale.
