      Before the Court are relator’s April 7, 2021 petition for writ of mandamus

pending motions. We DENY relator’s request for emergency relief. We request

June 28, 2021.

      Also before the Court is relator’s April 7, 2021 motion to seal court records.

April 7, 2021 petition for writ of mandamus and emergency motion for temporary

relief, accompanying mandamus record, and any responses in this original

proceeding under seal.
