COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

IN RE: CHRISTUS SPOHN HEALTH SYSTEM CORPORATION

A/K/A CHRISTUS SPOHN HOSPITAL SHORELINE

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus and

Motion for Emergency Temporary Relief

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

On March 9, 2007, relator, Christus Spohn Health System Corporation a/k/a Christus Spohn Hospital Shoreline, filed a petition for writ of mandamus with this Court in which it alleged that on March 2, 2007, respondent, the Honorable Lisa Gonzales, Presiding Judge of the County Court at Law No. 2 of Nueces County, Texas, abused her discretion by granting a motion to compel relator to produce privileged documents.

Relator's petition for writ of mandamus asked this Court to order the respondent to vacate the order dated March 2, 2007. In addition, relator filed a motion for emergency relief, asking this Court to order a stay of the March 2, 2007 order. This Court stayed all proceedings in the underlying action and requested a response from the real party in interest, Elva Sherrill.

Having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus, the documents filed in camera, the transcripts of the trial court proceedings, and the response by the real party in interest, this Court is of the opinion that the relator has not shown itself entitled to the relief sought. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

This Court denies the petition for writ of mandamus and lifts the stay previously ordered by this Court. The petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED.

PER CURIAM
