Relator J. Michael Moore filed an emergency motion for stay in the above cause

proceedings.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the emergency motion for stay,

is of the opinion that it should be granted. Accordingly, we GRANT the emergency motion for stay and ORDER that (1) all orders issued by the respondent, (2) all proceedings in

cause number C-4003-19-B, and (3) any related grand jury proceedings are STAYED

pending resolution of this original proceeding or further order of this Court. See TEX. R.

effective until the case is finally decided.”).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

PER CURIAM
