                                     Original Mandamus Proceeding 1

                                                   ORDER

Sitting en banc: 2 Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
                   Karen Angelini, Justice
                   Marialyn Barnard, Justice

        On March 1, 2018, relator Newport Classic Homes, L.P., L.L.C. filed a petition for writ of
mandamus, and Rafaeal Lagunes, the real party in interest, responded. After reviewing the
petition, response, motion for en banc reconsideration, and response to the motion for en banc
reconsideration, we conclude relator is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, the motion
for en banc reconsideration is GRANTED and the petition for writ of mandamus is
CONDITIONALLY GRANTED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(c).

       The Honorable Rosie Alvarado is ORDERED to vacate the order granting “[Lagunes’s]
Motion to Compel Newport Classic Homes’ Witness Marcus Hiles’s Deposition.” The writ will
issue only if we are notified that Judge Alvarado has not complied with this order.

        It is so ORDERED on October 10, 2018.

                                                                     _____________________________
                                                                     Marialyn Barnard, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 10th day of October, 2018.

                                                                     _____________________________
