Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.

IN RE: Thomas Allen Simon

NO. 03–16–00090–CV

Decided: February 12, 2016

Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Pemberton and Field

ORDER

Relator Thomas Allen Simon has filed a petition for writ of mandamus and for writ of prohibition seeking to vacate an order of the 424th District Court of Burnet County rescinding a prior order disqualifying the District Attorney and his staff from prosecuting the underlying criminal case against Simon. With his petition, Simon has filed a motion for temporary relief seeking a stay of the underlying proceedings. We grant the motion for temporary relief and stay the proceedings in the district court, pending further orders of this Court. The real party in interest, the State of Texas, is requested to file a response to the petition for writ of mandamus and for writ of prohibition on or before February 25, 2016. The respondent may also file a response by that date if he so desires. Persons filing a response may also address, in either that response or a separate filing, the advisability of our continuing the temporary relief pending our final disposition of the petition's merits.

It is ordered on February 12, 2016.
