          Relator, John Doe a/k/a Trooper, petitioned for writ of mandamus asking that we vacate the trial court’s July 15, 2011 order authorizing real parties in interest, Robert T. Brockman and The Reynolds & Reynolds Co., to serve Google Inc. with a deposition on written questions pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 202 and directing Google to produce relator’s identifying information.[1]
