CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

In Re: Service Corporation International and

SCI Texas Funeral Services, Inc.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam ⁽¹⁾

Relators, Service Corporation International and SCI Texas Funeral Services, Inc. d/b/a Mont Meta Memorial Park, have filed a petition for writ of mandamus by which they request this Court to direct respondent, the Honorable Abel Limas, presiding judge of the 404th Judicial District Court of Cameron County, Texas, to vacate a discovery order signed on September 26, 2007 and to enter a final judgment.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus and the response, is of the opinion that relators have not shown themselves entitled to the relief sought and the petition for writ of mandamus should be denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED.
