IN RE Brandon HJELLA

Original Mandamus Proceeding1

ORDER

On February 24, 2020, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and a motion for stay pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus. This court believes a serious question concerning the mandamus relief sought requires further consideration. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(b). The respondent and the real party in interest may file a response to the petition in this court no later than March 11, 2020. Any such response must conform to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.

Relator’s request for a stay is GRANTED, in part. The trial court’s orders regarding payment of attorney’s fees, including its January 30, 2020, “Order Granting Motion for Attorney’s Fees” and all proceedings on “Plaintiff’s Motion to Enforce Attorney’s Fees Order, to Show Cause and to Enter Sanctions” are STAYED pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus.

It is so ORDERED on February 25, 2020.
