Sitting:         Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

       On January 18, 2019, this court issued an order substituting the Honorable Monique Diaz
as respondent in this original proceeding, and abating the case for 60 days from the date of the
order. Our order directed relator to present to Judge Diaz each issue made the subject of the
pending petition for writ of mandamus and obtain a ruling on each issue.

        On February 14, 2019, Judge Diaz filed an “Advisory to the Court and Request for
Instructions.” According to the Advisory, Judge Diaz has determined an in camera inspection of
relevant documents should be conducted. Judge Diaz seeks direction from this court on whether
or how she should proceed.

        Judge Diaz may take whatever action she deems necessary to exercise her discretion in
ruling on each issue made the subject of the pending petition for writ of mandamus. This court
will take no further action on the petition until relator files either an amended petition and
appendix containing a ruling from Judge Diaz or the appropriate motion to dismiss this
mandamus proceeding.

           It is so ORDERED on February 15, 2019.
