Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Perkes Order Per Curiam

Relator J. Michael Moore filed a petition for writ of mandamus, prohibition, and

interfering with the jurisdiction of the assigned senior justice of the 93rd Judicial District

Court pursuant to assignment, and (3) a writ of injunction prohibiting and enjoining real

parties in interest Marco A. Cantu a/k/a Mark Cantu and Roxanne Cantu a/k/a Roxana Cantu “or any other parties in active concert with them” from filing any further lawsuits or

otherwise initiating pleadings in any other court “concerning or related to the subject of

these proceedings below for the purpose of forum shopping, or to avoid this Court’s

jurisdiction over any appeal in the proceedings below.”

The Court requests that the real parties in interest—Marco A. Cantu a/k/a Mark

Cantu and Roxanne Cantu a/k/a Roxana Cantu; Ricardo Rodriguez, the Hidalgo County

District Attorney; and Juan L. Villescas, Assistant District Attorney; or any others whose

interest would be directly affected by the relief sought, file a response to the petition for

writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days from the date of this order. See

IT IS SO ORDERED.
