In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00093-CV ——————————— IN RE CHAD J. VERRET, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Chad J. Verret, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging

an order by the Honorable Susan Brown, Presiding Judge of the Eleventh

Administrative Judicial Region, denying relator’s objection to the assignment of the

Honorable Julia Maldonado (the former presiding judge of the trial court who heard

the case and issued the final judgment) to issue findings of fact and conclusions of law.1 Although relator’s petition does not specify the exact relief requested, relator

presumably seeks a writ of mandamus compelling the Presiding Judge of the

Eleventh Administrative Judicial Region to vacate her order denying relator’s

objection to Judge Maldonado’s assignment. We deny the petition. Relator’s motion

for expedited consideration of the petition is dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Caughey, and Morgan.

1 The underlying case is In the Matter of the Marriage of Chad Verrett and Cheryl Verrett, cause number 2022-67908, pending in the 507th District Court of Harris County, Texas. 2
