                                          of Houston | Cause No. 2005-04747, In the Interest of S.M., In the
                                          311th Judicial District Court of Harris County Texas

                  To the Honorable Justices of the First Court of Appeals:

                  For the information of the Court, please take notice that Relator’s Request for Jury Trial
                  in the underlying matter was stricken by the trial court on Friday November 6, 2015 for
                  failure to comply with a pre-trial order to mediate.

                  The underlying matter remains on the trial docket and is set for bench trial on November
                  16, 2015. As such, Relator re-urges her previously filed Emergency Motion for Stay.

                                                                                    Respectfully	  submitted,
