In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-23-00510-CV ——————————— IN RE ALI CHOUDHRI, 9201 MEMORIAL LLC, AND 2727 KIRBY 26L LLC, Relators

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relators, Ali Choudhri, 9201 Memorial LLC, and 2727 Kirby 26L LLC

(collectively, “relators”), have filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, arguing that

this Court should stay the trial court’s July 12, 2023 order because the trial court

“abused [its] discretion and violated the [Texas Citizen’s Participation Act

(‘TCPA’)] by ordering discovery that was not limited in scope and relevant to

[relators’] TCPA [m]otion” and without “evidence of good cause.” Relators further

1 assert that the trial court erred “by awarding sanctions without having given

Choudhri notice and opportunity to be heard.”1

We deny the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). All pending motions are

dismissed as moot.
