IN RE BASIM MOUSILLI, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

309th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2020-49635 MEMORANDUM OPINION

On Friday, May 21, 2021, relator Basim Mousilli filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. The petition was amended on June 4, 2021, and an emergency motion to stay was filed seeking a stay of trial, set for August 23, 2021. In the petition, relator asks this Court to compel the Honorable Linda Marie Dunson, presiding judge of the 309th District Court of Harris County, to vacate the order signed February 25, 2021, disqualifying Lema Barazi as counsel for relator pursuant to Rule 3.08. See Tex. Disciplinary R. Prof. Conduct 3.08.

Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We also deny relator’s motion to stay.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Bourliot, Poissant and Wilson.
