IN RE WILLIAM LEE HON

Original Proceeding
258th District Court of Polk County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 23,343
________________________________________________________ _____________
ORDER
William Lee Hon, acting in his capacity as the Polk County Criminal District
Attorney, filed a petition for writ of mandamus. The relator is the prosecuting
authority in Cause No. 23,343, The State of Texas v. Cindy Pashia-McCormick.
Relator seeks a writ compelling the Honorable Ernest L. McClendon, Judge of the
258th District Court, to vacate his discovery order of August 9, 2016. We note our
jurisdiction over this matter and the parties. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221
(West 2004). Relator alleges that prejudice will result if the discovery occurs
before the issues raised in the petition for writ of mandamus can be resolved.
1
The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It
is ORDERED that the trial court’s order of August 9, 2016, in Cause No. 23,343 is
STAYED until our Opinion issues or until further order of this Court. See Tex. R.
App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required of the relator as a condition to any relief
herein granted.
The response of the real party in interest, Cindy Pashia-McCormick, is due
September 12, 2016.
MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.
ORDER ENTERED September 1, 2016.
PER CURIAM
Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ.
