                                     ORDER

      Michael Postel filed a petition for writ of mandamus. The relator is a

respondent in Cause No. 12-09-10107 CV, In the Matter of the Marriage of

Theresa Postel and Michael Postel. Relator seeks a writ compelling the Honorable

Tracy Gilbert, Judge of the 418th District Court, to vacate an order compelling

discovery. We note our jurisdiction over this matter and the parties. See Tex.

Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004).

      Relator alleges that prejudice will result if the discovery occurs before the

issues raised in the petition for writ of mandamus can be resolved.



                                         1
      The Court finds temporary relief is necessary to prevent undue prejudice. It

is ORDERED that the trial court’s order of July 30, 2013 in Cause No. 12-09-

10107 CV is STAYED until our Opinion issues or until further order of this Court.

See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10(b). No bond is required of the relator as a condition to

any relief herein granted.

      The response of the real party in interest, Theresa Postel, is due August 30,

2013, at 5:00 p.m.

      MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF GRANTED.

      ORDER ENTERED August 20, 2013.
