Supreme Court of Texas

In an action brought by plaintiffs raising individual and class claims against defendants for violating federal and state disclosure requirements applicable to funeral providers, defendants' petition for mandamus challenging a court of appeals' decision upholding class-wide discovery and class-wide sanctions orders is granted because the court of appeals also reversed the class certification in its ruling, thus rendering the discovery and sanctions orders superfluous.
