Motion GRANTED and Order filed January 5, 2021. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-21-00004-CV ____________ IN RE NESTLE WATERS NORTH AMERICA, INC. AND ROBERT LEE SEWELL, SR., Relators ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS Probate Court No. 4 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 476,827-401 ORDER On January 5, 2021, relators Nestle Waters North America, Inc. and Robert Lee Sewell, Sr., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. Relators ask this court to order the Honorable James Horowitz, Judge of Probate Court No. 4, in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his order dated December 28, 2020, entered in trial court number 476,827-401, styled Kenneth Hurr, Individually and as Independent Administrator of the Estate of Huh Tao Sung (Deceased), et al. v. Nestle Waters North America, Inc., et al. Relators have also filed a motion for temporary stay of proceedings below. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. On January 5, 2021, relators asked this court to stay proceedings in the trial court pending a decision on the petition for writ of mandamus. It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relators’ request for relief requires further consideration and that relators will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relators’ motion and issue the following order: We ORDER the December 28, 2020 order entered in trial court cause number 476,827-401, Kenneth Hurr, Individually and as Independent Administrator of the Estate of Huh Tao Sung (Deceased), et al. v. Nestle Waters North America, Inc., et al., STAYED until a final decision by this court on relators’ petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court. In addition, the court requests real parties in interest, to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before January 26, 2021. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.4. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Jewell and Poissant. 2
