IN RE LISA BLACK O'CONNOR, Relator



Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus



O P I N I O N
	Relator, Lisa Black O'Connor, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus
complaining that Judge Michel (1) is constitutionally disqualified from sitting in the
underlying case.  According to the petition for writ of mandamus and motion for
emergency relief, the underlying case has already been tried to a jury, a judgment has
been signed, a motion for new trial has been filed, and a hearing on the motion for
new trial is set for October 12, 2001. The motion to disqualify Judge Michel, the
order of referral pursuant to Tex. R. Civ. P. 18a(d), and the order denying the motion
to disqualify Judge Michel were all filed or signed after the judgment was signed.
	We deny the petition for writ of mandamus and the motion for emergency
relief.
