IN RE BRAND SCAFFOLD SERVICES, INC. AND BRAND SCAFFOLD BUILDERS, INC., Relators

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

O P I N I O N

On June 11, 2002, relators, Brand Scaffold Services, Inc. and Brand Scaffold Builders, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining that on June 3, 2002, Judge Ray, ⁽¹⁾ in open court, denied their motion to stay trial proceedings and scheduled the underlying case for trial on June 13, 2002. The mandamus record does not contain a copy of Judge Ray's ruling.

We deny the motion for emergency stay and the petition for writ of mandamus.
