IN RE SURINDER SINGH, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 152nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2020-59451
Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Jewell and Spain.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On March 29, 2023, relator Surinder Singh, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. Relator asks this court to order the Honorable Robert Schaffer, Judge of the 152nd District Court, in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his March 29, 2023 order vacating the substitute trustee's deed, entered in trial court number 2020-59451, styled Singh v. The Estate of Clifford E. Hall.
Relator has also filed a motion for temporary stay of proceedings below. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. On March 30, 2023, relator asked this court to stay proceedings in the trial court pending a decision on the petition for writ of mandamus.
It appears from the facts stated in the petition and motion that relator's request for relief requires further consideration and that relator will be prejudiced unless immediate temporary relief is granted. We therefore GRANT relator's motion and issue the following order:
We ORDER the March 29, 2023 order vacating the substitute trustee's deed in trial court cause number 2020-59451, Singh v. The Estate of Clifford E. Hall, STAYED until a final decision by this court on relator's petition for writ of mandamus, or until further order of this court.
Relator's petition does not comply with Rule 52.3(j). Relator must correct the deficiency by April 11, 2023. Failure to do so will result in the denial of the petition.
In addition, the court requests real party in interest The Estate of Clifford E. Hall to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus on or before April 18, 2023. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.4.
