On February 6, 2006, relator,
J. Michael Hershey, filed a petition for writs of mandamus and prohibition, in
which he requested this Court to direct the Respondent, the Honorable Daniel R.
Sklar, presiding judge of the 329th Judicial District
Court of Wharton County, Texas, to withdraw his (1) Supplemental Order of
Partition and (2) Amended Order on Motion to Require the Parties to Pay
Expenses.  Relator also requested that
this Court employ the writ of prohibition to prohibit Respondent from (1)
proceeding under the Supplemental Order of Partition or the Supplemental Report
of Commissioners and (2) taxing costs disproportionately against Relator.  
Real parties-in-interest filed a preliminary
response on February 17, 2006.  The
Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writs of mandamus
and prohibition and the preliminary response, is of
the opinion that relator=s petition should be denied.  Accordingly, relator=s petition for writs of mandamus and prohibition is
DENIED.[2]
