IN RE EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 333rd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2019-52989

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On October 16, 2020, relator Exxon Mobil Corporation filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.22; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Daryl Moore, presiding judge of the 333rd District Court of Harris County, to vacate his October 15, 2020 order (1) denying relator’s motion to enforce notices of depositions and subpoenas served on nonparty medical providers; and (2) granting real parties interest’s and nonparty medical providers’ motions for protection in the underlying personal injury case.

Relator has not shown that it is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We also deny relator’s motion for stay.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Jewell, and Zimmerer. (Justice Jewell would grant the requested stay and request a response from real parties in interest.)
