IN RE RIDGECREST HOLDINGS, LLC AND 400 SOUTH WALTON WALKER
BOULEVARD, DALLAS, TEXAS, Relators
Original Proceeding from the 160th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-12419
ORDER
Before Justices Myers, Molberg, and Nowell
Before the Court are relators’ August 2, 2019 (1) petition for writ of mandamus, (2)
motion for temporary relief incident to petition for writ of mandamus, and (3) motion to
consolidate petition for mandamus with related appeal. In their petition for writ of mandamus,
relators seek relief from the trial court’s June 28, 2019 judgment of contempt. Relators have also
filed an interlocutory appeal of the trial court’s December 21, 2018 temporary injunction. That
interlocutory appeal is pending in this Court in cause number 05-19-00004-CV. According to
relators, the issues presented in their petition for writ of mandamus are in part identical to the
issues raised in the pending interlocutory appeal. We agree.
Accordingly, we GRANT relator’s motion to consolidate, and ORDER cause number
05-19-00913-CV CONSOLIDATED into cause number 05-19-00004-CV. We DIRECT the
Clerk of this Court to remove all documents from cause number 05-19-00913-CV and refile
them in cause number 05-19-00004-CV and to treat cause number 05-19-00913-CV as a closed
case. We ORDER that all future pleadings be filed in and bear only cause number 05-19-00004-
CV. All current deadlines in cause number 05-19-00004-CV shall remain in place, including the
September 11, 2019 oral argument date. The parties should be prepared to address the
interlocutory appeal and this original proceeding at oral argument.
We request that the real parties in interest in 05-19-00913-CV file a response, if any, to
relators’ petition for writ mandamus by August 26, 2019. In accordance with this consolidation
order, that response should be filed in cause number 05-19-00004-CV.
We also GRANT relators’ motion for temporary relief and STAY enforcement of the
June 28, 2019 judgment of contempt. This stay shall remain in place until further order of this
Court.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Aiesha
Redmond, Presiding Judge, 160th Judicial District Court, and to all parties.
