O R D E R

Relator filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, pursuant to the original jurisdiction of this Court. The petition requests that we issue a writ of mandamus in the underlying case, ordering the Sixth Court of Appeals to withdraw its mandates issued in these two cause numbers.

Relator contends that the issuance of these mandates was in violation of Rule of Appellate Procedure 18.1. This Court invites the respondent, the Sixth Court of Appeals, to file a response with this Court. The real party in interest, defendant William Allen Cooper, may also submit a response. The motion for leave to file a petition for a writ of mandamus will be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Any such responses shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
