        IN RE OWEN J. MERRELL AND JEANNA EAST, Relators

           Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relators Owen J. Merrell and Jeanna East filed a petition for writ of

mandamus in response to the Honorable Dedra Davis’s overruling of their “Agreed

Objection to Trial Proceeding as Planned.”     The next day, Relators filed a
corresponding “Emergency Motion to Stay Trial Scheduled to Begin July 13,

2022.”1

      We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.          TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

Relators’ Emergency Motion to Stay Trial Scheduled to Begin July 13, 2022 is

denied.2 Any other pending motions are denied as moot.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Countiss, and Rivas-Molloy.
