Opinion

Motion GRANTED and Order filed June 27, 2018.

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-18-00523-CV ____________ IN RE ATLANTIC SOUNDING CO INC., AND WEEKS MARINE, INC., Relators

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 113th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2017-38112 ORDER On June 26, 2018, relators Atlantic Sounding Co Inc., and Weeks Marine, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. Relators ask this court to order the Honorable Michael Landrum, Judge of the 113th District Court, in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his order dated June 7, 2018, entered in trial court number 2017-38112, styled Reco Graham v. Atlantic Sounding Co, Inc., and Weeks Marine, Inc.. Relators claim respondent abused his discretion by ordering them to produce documents and materials protected by the attorney client and work product privileges.

Relators also filed a motion for temporary stay of proceedings below. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. Relators asked this court to stay proceedings in the trial court pending a decision on the petition for writ of mandamus.

It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relators’ request for relief requires further consideration and that relators will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relators’ motion and issue the following order: We ORDER the June 7, 2018 order entered in trial court cause number 2017- 38112, Reco Graham v. Atlantic Sounding Co, Inc., and Weeks Marine, Inc., STAYED until a final decision by this court on relators’ petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court.

In addition, the court requests Reco Graham, the real party-in-interest, to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before July 11, 2018. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.4.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Busby, Donovan, and Brown.
