In The
Court of Appeals For The
First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00300-CV ——————————— IN RE SEYTH BOARDMAN AND SHAWNA BOARDMAN, Relators
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators, Seyth Boardman and Shawna Boardman, filed a petition for writ of
mandamus challenging the April 16, 2024 “Amended Order Appointing Special
Master” entered by the 11th District Court of Harris County, Texas (the “MDL
court”).1 Relators’ mandamus petition asserted that the MDL court’s order
1 On December 7, 2021, the Administrative Judge of the Civil Trial Division for the Harris County District Courts Board of Judges–Civil Division, entered an “Order Creating Special Docket for Astroworld Festival Cases.” In this order, the Administrative Judge ordered that “all cases filed . . . for damages and injuries arising out of, or related to, the ‘Astroworld Festival’ that took place on or about appointing a special master amounted to an abuse of discretion for which they lack
an adequate appellate remedy.2 Relators therefore requested “that this Court grant
their petition for a writ of mandamus and issue [a] writ compelling the MDL court
to vacate its order appointing a special master.”
Our review of relators’ mandamus petition reflects that relators have not
established that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relators’
petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We dismiss any other
pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
