In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-22-00274-CV ——————————— IN RE S.E.A.L. SECURITY SOLUTIONS, LLC, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, S.E.A.L. Security Solutions, LLC (“Seal”), filed a petition for a writ

of mandamus challenging two March 21, 2022 trial court orders, including (1) an

order denying Seal’s motion to sever crossclaim after the trial court granted

summary judgment in favor of real party in interest, Sharpstown Civic Association,

Inc., and (2) an order denying Seal’s motion to compel cellular telephone

authorizations of real parties in interest, Leslie Nugent, Paul Kevin Nugent, and

Michael Nugent. In its mandamus petition, Seal requests that the Court grant its petition for writ of mandamus, direct the trial court to vacate its March 21, 2022

orders, “to sever [Seal’s] crossclaims,” and “to compel [Leslie Nugent, Paul Kevin

Nugent, and Michael Nugent] to produce cell phone authorizations.”1

We deny Seal’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Hightower, Rivas-Molloy, and Farris.
