Upon review of the record and the briefing on file in the above captioned mandamus, Cause No. 05-14- 00397-CV, and the appeal in Cause No. 05-13-00732-CV, Albert G. Hill, III v. Albert G.

Appellee may file a response to appellant’s brief within thirty days of the date appellant files its brief or notifies the Court that it will not file briefing in addition to its petition for writ of mandamus. /s/ KERRY P.
