On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

ORDER Before Justices Perkes, Benavides, and Longoria Per Curiam Order Relator, Fred Adkins, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on February 9, 2014 contending that the trial court abused its discretion in setting aside a jury verdict.

See, e.g., In re Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., 407 S.W.3d 746, 755–59 (Tex. 2013) (orig. proceeding); see also In re Whataburger Restaurants LP, 429 S.W.3d 597, 598 (Tex. 2014) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam); In re Health Care Unlimited, Inc., 429 S.W.3d 600, 602 (Tex. 2014) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam).

The Court requests that the real party in interest, Antonio Gutierrez Tingle, or any others whose interest would be directly affected by the relief sought, file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before the expiration of ten days from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.2, 52.4, 52.8.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
