IN RE E. PIERCE MARSHALL, JR., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Probate Court No 4 Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 365,053-401

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On Thursday, March 28, 2024, relator E. Pierce Marshall, Jr. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable James Horwitz, presiding judge of the Probate Court No. 4 of Harris County, to vacate its December 11, 2023 “Order Denying Defendant E. Pierce Marshall Jr.’s

Motion for Summary Judgment”; and (2) direct the trial court to grant the motion for summary judgment in relator’s favor.

Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief.

Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We lift this court’s April 30, 2024 stay order.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Poissant.
