                                    JUDGMENT

      This court has considered Relators Michael Shane Lavender and Sherri Lynn

Lemaster’s petition for writ of mandamus and holds that the petition should be

conditionally granted. Accordingly, we conditionally grant the writ of mandamus and

order the trial court to vacate its June 23, 2022 order requiring Relators to deposit

funds into the court registry. We lift our August 11, 2022 stay order.
       It is further ordered that Real Parties in Interest Mark A. Bowers and Gary Lee

Lancaster, individually and d/b/a Condor Land, LLC, shall jointly and severally pay

all of the costs of this proceeding, for which let execution issue.
