                                     ORDER

      Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of Montreal, The Prudential Insurance

Company of America, Thomas E. McGraw, and Troy Jefferson filed a petition for

writ of mandamus. The relators are defendants in Cause No. A-189,693. Relators

seek a writ compelling the Honorable Robert J. Wortham, Judge of the 58th

District Court of Jefferson County, Texas, to grant a continuance of the trial of the

case and permit additional discovery. We note our jurisdiction over this matter and

the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004).

                                         1
      Relators request temporary relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(a). The Court

finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It is ORDERED

that jury selection in Cause No. A-189,693 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 the relators as a condition to any relief herein granted.

      The response of the real parties in interest, Conex Holdings, Inc., John

Duplissey, James Duplissey, and William Harrington, is due March 13, 2014, at

5:00 p.m.

      MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.

      ORDER ENTERED March 3, 2014.
