                               Fourth Court of Appeals
                                      San Antonio, Texas
                                            January 23, 2023

                                          No. 04-23-00075-CR

                                    IN RE Victor CRUZ ZUNIGA

                                    Original Mandamus Proceeding1

                                             ORDER

Sitting:         Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
                 Irene Rios, Justice
                 Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice

       On January 19, 2023, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency
motion to stay pending final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus. This court believes
a serious question concerning the mandamus relief sought requires further
consideration. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(b). Respondent and real party in interest may file a
response to the petition in this court no later than February 13, 2023. Any such response must
conform to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.4.

           Relator’s emergency motion for temporary stay is GRANTED IN PART as follows:

              1. All pretrial settings requiring relator’s in-person appearance are STAYED
                 pending further order from this court. Pretrial settings that do not require relator’s
                 in-person appearance may proceed.

              2. The January 23, 2023 trial setting is STAYED pending further order from this
                 court.

           It is so ORDERED on January 23, 2023.
                                                                           PER CURIAM

           ATTESTED TO:__________________________
                       MICHAEL A. CRUZ,
                       CLERK OF COURT

1This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 13779CR, styled State of Texas v. Victor Cruz Zuniga, pending in the
