IN RE JUDITH AUDREY COOK AND BRANDON ORCUTT, Relators

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 505th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 19-DCV-261182 MAJORITY MEMORANDUM OPINION Relators Judith Audrey Cook and Brandon Orcutt 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. In the petition, relators ask this Court to compel the Honorable Kali Morgan, presiding judge of the 505th District Court of Fort Bend County, to vacate the trial court’s September 12, 2023 order on real party in interest Celia Gordy’s motion to disqualify relators’ attorney.

Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief.

Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Bourliot and Hassan (Christopher, C.J., dissenting).
