On Appeal from the 60th District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. B-196,107 ________________________________________________________ _____________

ORDER

The appellant, Entergy Arkansas, Inc., filed a motion to stay the trial during

the pendency of its interlocutory appeal from an order denying a special

appearance. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(7) (West Supp.

2015). When an appeal from an interlocutory order is perfected, we may make

such orders as are necessary to preserve the parties’ rights until disposition of the

appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 29.3. After reviewing the motion and the response, we find

1 that temporary orders are necessary to preserve the parties’ rights until disposition

of the appeal.

It is ORDERED that the trial of Cause No. B-196,107 is STAYED until our

Opinion issues or until further order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 29.3.

ORDER ENTERED July 21, 2016.
