in Re Seneca Resources Corporation

Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

MEMORANDUM ORDER

Appellate case name: In re Seneca Resources Corporation

Appellate case number: 01-14-00587-CV

Trial court case number: 2013-01325

Trial court: 234th District Court of Harris County

On July 10, 2014, relator Seneca Resources Corporation filed a petition for writ of mandamus and emergency motion to stay trial court proceedings. At this time, relator’s emergency motion fails to demonstrate a specific burden necessitating an emergency stay of trial proceedings. Moreover, the record does not indicate that relator requested that the trial court stay the underlying proceedings pending our determination of relator’s mandamus petition. Accordingly, the emergency motion for stay is denied as premature and without prejudice to the filing of a subsequent request based upon either future developments or an agreement among the parties regarding the conditions for a temporary stay of trial proceedings. Furthermore, the relief requested in the Pennywell Family’s “Response to Emergency Motion for Temporary Relief to Stay Trial Court Proceedings” is dismissed as moot. It is so ORDERED.
