IN RE Jaclyn MONROE
Original Proceeding 1
ORDER
On July 19, 2024, relator filed a petition for a writ of mandamus and an emergency motion to stay, pending this court’s disposition of relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. On August 6, 2024, this court entered a stay of the underlying proceedings pending this court’s disposition of relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
After considering the mandamus petition and record, 2 we conclude the trial court abused its discretion by disqualifying relator’s attorney in the underlying proceedings. Therefore, we conditionally grant the writ of mandamus and direct the trial court to vacate its June 10, 2024 order granting real party in interest’s motion to disqualify. The writ will issue only if the trial court fails to vacate this order within fifteen days from the date of our opinion and order. The stay imposed on August 6, 2024, is lifted.
It is so ORDERED on December 4, 2024.
