COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
IN RE THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY
AND GOODYEAR-DUNLOP TIRES NORTH AMERICA, LTD.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
On May 13, 2013, relators, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and
Goodyear-Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd., filed a petition for writ of mandamus
contending that the Honorable Jack Marr, presiding judge of the 24th Judicial District
Court of Calhoun County, Texas, abused his discretion, leaving relators without an
adequate appellate remedy, by rendering certain discovery orders on March 28, 2013.
Relators also filed a motion for temporary relief in which they asked this Court to impose
a stay on the underlying proceedings until such time as we may fully consider the
petition for writ of mandamus. On May 14, 2013, we granted relators’ motion for
temporary relief and ordered the real parties in interest to file any response to the
petition for writ of mandamus. Responses were filed on May 29 and May 30, 2013.
Having reviewed relators’ petition for writ of mandamus, the responses filed
thereto, and the record documents provided by the parties, this Court is of the opinion
that relators have not shown themselves entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, we
hereby DENY relators’ petition for writ of mandamus and LIFT the previously-imposed
stay on trial court proceedings.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
26th day of July, 2013.
