in Re Michael Rockafellow

Opinion

NO. 07-11-00066-CV

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

AT AMARILLO

PANEL C

FEBRUARY 10, 2011

IN RE MICHAEL ROCKAFELLOW AND MTBC, LTD., RELATORS

Before QUINN, C.J., and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.

ORDER

Pending before this Court is an Emergency Motion for Stay of Deposition and Production of Documents filed by relators, Michael Rockafellow and MTBC, Ltd.  By this motion, relators seek an order staying the Amended Order Authorizing Deposition entered by respondent, the Honorable Les Hatch, in cause number 2010-554,734 in the 237^th District Court of Lubbock County, Texas.  As this Amended Order Authorizing Deposition authorizes the deposition of Rockafellow “no later than the 15^th day of February 2011,” which is an insufficient amount of time for this Court to determine the merits of Rockafellow’s petition for writ of mandamus, we grant the motion during the pendency of the above-identified original proceeding.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b).
