CHRISTOPHER L. SANDOVAL, APPELLANT
V.
TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY; J. C. VILLANUEVA, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY; AND MICHELLE FARRIS, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN HER OFFICIAL CAPACITY, APPELLEES
On Appeal from the 419th District Court Travis County, Texas Trial Court No. D-1-GN-18-005881, Honorable Dustin Howell, Presiding
December 30, 2021 ORDER GRANTING STAY Before QUINN, C.J., and PIRTLE and DOSS, JJ.
Pending before this Court is Christopher L. Sandoval’s Unopposed Motion for Stay
of All Proceedings, which requests that we stay further proceedings in light of the United
State Supreme Court’s granting of certiorari in Torres v. Tex. Dep’t of Pub. Safety, No.
20-603, a cause presenting an identical sovereign immunity issue. To expedite the
disposition of this appeal and in the interest of conservation of judicial resources, we grant
said motion, stay further proceedings in the instant cause, and abate the cause itself. The cause will be removed from this Court’s active docket and treated as a suspended case.
All appellate deadlines are hereby suspended until further order of this Court. See TEX.
