IN RE E. PIERCE MARSHALL, JR., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Probate Court No 4
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 365,053-401

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On Thursday, March 28, 2024, relator E. Pierce Marshall, Jr. filed a petition
for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable
James Horwitz, presiding judge of the Probate Court No. 4 of Harris County, to
vacate its December 11, 2023 “Order Denying Defendant E. Pierce Marshall Jr.’s
Motion for Summary Judgment”; and (2) direct the trial court to grant the motion
for summary judgment in relator’s favor.

Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We lift this court’s
April 30, 2024 stay order.
PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Poissant.
