Opinion Per Curiam
 
On
February 21, 2006, relators, Sam O=Neal and Celia O=Neal
filed a petition for writ of mandamus with this Court in which they allege that
on November 15, 2005, the 267th Judicial District Court abused its discretion
by granting defendant, Peter Coldwell. M.D.=s
motion to abate.  Relator=s petition for writ of mandamus asks this Court to
order the respondent, the Honorable Stephen Williams, Presiding Judge of the
267th Judicial District Court of Refugio County, to vacate the November 15,
2005 order, and allow relators= case to be heard on the merits.




Having
examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus, the response
of the real party in interest, and relators= reply
to response, this Court is of the opinion that the relators have not shown
themselves entitled to the relief sought, and the petition for writ of mandamus should be
denied. 
The petition for writ of mandamus is hereby DENIED.  See Tex.
R. App. P. 52.8(a).
