                                     ORDER

      Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC, Time Warner Cable

Information Services (Texas) LLC, and Taylor Britt, Relators, filed a petition for a

writ of mandamus and a motion for temporary relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52. Relators

are defendants in Trial Cause Number B-202,984, Samantha McCormick and

Christopher McCormick v. Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC, Time

Warner Cable Information Services (Texas) LLC, and Taylor Britt. Relators seek a

writ compelling the Honorable Justin Sanderson, Judge of the 60th District Court of

                                         1
Jefferson County, Texas, to vacate the November 9, 2021 trial setting and enter a

scheduling order that provides Relators with no less than six months’ time to conduct

additional discovery, as well as the opportunity to designate additional expert

witnesses. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221.

      Relators request that the trial be stayed while this Court considers the

mandamus petition. The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue

prejudice. It is ORDERED that the trial in Trial Cause Number B-202,984 is

STAYED until our opinion issues or until further order of this Court. See Tex. R.

App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required of Relators as a condition to any relief herein

granted.

      The response of the Real Parties in Interest, Samantha McCormick and

Christopher McCormick, is due November 18, 2021.

      MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.

      ORDER ENTERED November 8, 2021.
