IN RE RAPID SETTLEMENTS, LTD., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On July 5, 2007, relator Rapid Settlements, Ltd. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court, requesting we order respondent, the Honorable Lamar McCorkle, presiding judge of the 133rd District Court, Harris County, Texas, (1) to vacate the temporary injunction entered on July 17, 2006 prohibiting the relator from pursuing arbitration of certain identified claims, and (2) to vacate his order of June 4, 2007 denying relator=s motion to compel arbitration. See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. Proc. 52.1.

Having considered relator=s petition and the response filed by real-parties-in-interest Patricia Hogan and R&P Capital Resources, Inc., we find that relator is not entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed October 16, 2007.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Yates and Seymore.
