IN RE EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
333rd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2019-52989
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On October 16, 2020, relator Exxon Mobil Corporation filed a petition for
writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.22; see also Tex.
R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Daryl
Moore, presiding judge of the 333rd District Court of Harris County, to vacate his
October 15, 2020 order (1) denying relator’s motion to enforce notices of depositions
and subpoenas served on nonparty medical providers; and (2) granting real parties
interest’s and nonparty medical providers’ motions for protection in the underlying
personal injury case.
Relator has not shown that it is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we
deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We also deny relator’s motion for stay.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Jewell, and Zimmerer. (Justice Jewell would
grant the requested stay and request a response from real parties in interest.)
