IN RE DUANE T. CORLEY
__________________________________________________________________
Original Proceeding
County Court at Law No. 2 of Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 19-12-16524-CV
__________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Duane T. Corley filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Corley is the
plaintiff in cause number 19-12-16524-CV, styled Duane T. Corley v. Jamie
Fernandez and Charles Ciaramitaro. Corley seeks a writ compelling the Honorable
Claudia Laird, Judge of the County Court at Law No. 2, to set aside her order
granting the motion for new trial filed by the real parties in interest, Jamie Fernandez
and Charles Ciaramitaro. We note our jurisdiction over this matter and the parties.
See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221.
Relator alleges that if further proceedings occur in the trial court before the
issues raised in the petition can be resolved, such proceedings might interfere with
1
this Court’s ability to meaningfully review the trial court’s order and will cause
relator to incur additional attorney’s fees. The Court finds temporary relief is
necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It is ORDERED that all further proceedings
in cause number 19-12-16524-CV are STAYED until our Opinion issues or until
further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required of the
relator as a condition to any relief herein granted. The response of the real parties in
interest to the petition for writ of mandamus is due on May 17, 2021.
MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.
ORDER ENTERED May 6, 2021.
