IN RE WILLIAM E. TRUMP, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINIONRelator William E. Trump filed a petition for a writ of mandamus complaining of Judge Olsen’s order denying Trump’s motion to abate proceedings and quash his deposition. Judge Olsen allowed the deposition to proceed, but excluded questions concerning an alleged breach of an earnest money contract because of the existence of an arbitration clause in the contract. Trump also filed motions for temporary relief and to stay the deposition.

          We deny the petition for a writ of mandamus and both motions.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justice Nuchia, Hanks, and Bland.
