ORDER

Paula Cook filed a petition for writ of mandamus. The relator is a plaintiff in

Cause No. 57,454, Paula Cook v. Charles M. Kibler Jr. Relator seeks a writ

compelling the Honorable Steven R. Thomas, Judge of the 356th District Court, to

vacate an order expunging a notice of lis pendens. We note our jurisdiction over

this matter and the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004).

Relator alleges that prejudice will result if the trial court’s order is filed in

the Hardin County real property records before the issues raised in the petition for

writ of mandamus can be resolved.

1 The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It

is ORDERED that the trial court’s order of November 1, 2016, in Cause No.

57,454 is STAYED until our Opinion issues or until further order of this Court.

See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required of the relator as a condition to

any relief herein granted.

The response of the real party in interest, Charles M. Kibler Jr., is due

November 17, 2016.

MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.

ORDER ENTERED November 10, 2016.
