ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 151st District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2022-05545

MAJORITY MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 22, 2023, relators Mehran Rahbar, M.D. and Farinaz Arbab M.D., Husband and Wife 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, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable Mike Engelhart, presiding judge of the 151st District Court of Harris County, to issue a revised scheduling and docket control order and set aside his orders dated January 23, 2023, January 30, 2023, and February 6, 2023.

Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. We also deny relators’ expedited motion to stay.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Jewell and Spain (Spain, J., dissent to follow).
