See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this Court to compel the Honorable Kyle Carter, presiding judge of the 125th District Court of Harris County, to vacate the following: (1) the trial court’s September 1, 2022 order denying relators’ traditional motion for summary judgment that real party in interest GAMCO does not have standing and, in the alternative, plea to the jurisdiction; and (2) the trial court’s order denying the “No Loss” motions. We disregard the appearance of nonresident lawyers for relators and the real parties in interest who have not filed motions to participate as required by Texas Rule Governing Admission to the Bar 19. Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. Relators’ emergency motion for temporary relief to stay trial proceedings is denied. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Spain and Poissant. 2
