post the bond by May 9, 2022. Relator also filed a motion for emergency relief asking this Court
to stay the trial court’s order.

stayed pending disposition of this original proceeding or other order of this Court.
        The Court requests a response to the petition for writ of mandamus from real party in
interest, Stephanie McGuire, within 20 days of the date of this order.
       It is so ORDERED.
