                                          IN RE Max GROSSMAN

                                      Original Mandamus Proceeding1

                                                     ORDER

Sitting:          Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
                  Karen Angelini, Justice
                  Irene Rios, Justice

       Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this court to order the El Paso City
Clerk to place its re-proposed ordinance on the November 6, 2018 ballot. Relator also filed a
motion to expedite consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus. The City Clerk filed a
response.

        The motion to expedite this original proceeding is GRANTED. After considering the
petition and response, this court concludes relator is not entitled to the relief sought.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

           It is so ORDERED on August 16, 2018.

                                                               _________________________________

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 16th day of August, 2018.

                                                               ___________________________________
