COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

ORDER
Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Perkes
Per Curiam Order
Relator, Crystal Luna, filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an Emergency
Motion for Stay of Trial in the above cause on August 22, 2016. Through this original
proceeding, relator seeks review of the trial court’s order granting State Farm’s motion to
quash relator’s proposed deposition of a State Farm representative. Through Emergency
Motion for Stay of Trial, relator seeks a stay in the underlying lawsuit during the pendency
of the mandamus proceeding.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the motion for emergency relief,
is of the opinion that the motion for emergency relief should be granted. The motion is
GRANTED and the trial court trial date set for August 29, 2016, is ordered STAYED
pending further order of this Court, or until the case is finally decided. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 52.10(b) (“Unless vacated or modified, an order granting temporary relief is effective
until the case is finally decided.”).
The Court requests that the real party in interest, State Farm Mutual Automobile
Insurance Company, or any others whose interest would be directly affected by the relief
sought, file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of
ten days from the date of this order. See id. R. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

23rd day of August, 2016.
