COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Christopher Scott Brann v. Carlos Guimaraes and Jemima Guimaraes Appellate case number: 01-19-00439-CV Trial court case number: 2019-11003 Trial court: 270th District Court of Harris County Appellant, Christopher Brann, has filed a second motion requesting that our Court issue an order staying trial proceedings pending resolution of his interlocutory appeal. We denied a prior motion by appellant seeking to stay appellees from serving discovery requests on third parties. In this second motion, however, appellant asserts that a stay is necessary because the trial court has held hearings and issued orders regarding discovery matters. Section 51.014(b) applies to this case and stays “proceedings in the trial court” pending resolution of the appeal. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM CODE § 51.014(b). Accordingly, we grant appellant’s motion for temporary relief and issue this order clarifying that all proceedings in the trial court, including hearings and orders regarding discovery matters, are stayed pending resolution of the appeal. See id.; TEX. R. APP. P. 29.3. It is so ORDERED. Judge’s signature: _____/s/ Gordon Goodman_____ Acting individually Date: ___December 10, 2019____
