            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relators, Frederick H. Schrader and Constellation Brands, Inc., have filed a

petition for a writ of mandamus challenging two trial court orders: a March 18, 2020

order denying Schrader’s “Motion to Disqualify John W. Newton III and Roach

Newton LLP” and a June 29, 2020 order denying Constellation Brands, Inc.’s

“Motion for Protection Regarding Apex Deposition of Constellation CEO &

President Bill Newlands.”
      We deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus.1 All pending motions are

dismissed as moot.
