IN RE KEVIN ABERCROMBIE, CHRISTIE          §   Original Proceeding

Relators                                       County, Texas

                                           §   Trial Court No. 352-331310-22

                                               Birdwell

                                    JUDGMENT

      This court has considered relators’ petition for writ of mandamus and holds

that the petition should be conditionally granted in part. Accordingly, we conditionally

grant the writ of mandamus and direct the trial court to vacate its order denying

relators’ motion to withdraw those admissions that are merits-preclusive (nos. 5–14,

and 17–21 for those requested of 280 Sports, LLC; and nos. 2–9 and 12–13 for those

requested of Abercrombie Holdings, LLC). The remaining non-merits-preclusive

requests for admissions (nos. 1–4, 15–16, and 22 for those requested of 280 Sports,
LLC; and nos. 1, 10–11, and 14 for those requested of Abercrombie Holdings, LLC)

are deemed admitted by relators.

      It is further ordered that real party in interest David Abercrombie shall pay all

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