ORDER
Q Directional Drilling LLC, Twister Drilling Tools LLC, and Jim Beasley
filed a petition for writ of mandamus. The relators are defendants in Cause No. 15-
06-05931, James Grodeski v. Q Directional Drilling LLC. Relator seeks a writ
compelling the Honorable Jennifer James Robin, Judge of the 410th District Court
of Montgomery County, Texas, to vacate her order of May 30, 2017, denying
Relators’ motion to strike a jury demand. We note our jurisdiction over this matter
and the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004).

Relators request a stay of all proceedings as temporary relief. See Tex. R. App.
P. 52.10(a). According to Relators, the case is scheduled for a jury trial on June 5,
2017. The Court finds limited temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue
prejudice. It is ORDERED that the jury trial in trial court cause number 15-06-05931
is 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 relators as a condition to any relief
herein granted.
The response of the real party in interest, James Grodeski, is due June 12,
2017.
MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.
ORDER ENTERED June 1, 2017.
