IN RE THE ESTATE OF VIRGINIA HUTCHINGS AND RANDALL
PATTERSON, INDEPENDENT EXECUTOR, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
County Court at Law
Washington County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2017-12

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On Wednesday, June 5, 2024, relator Randall Patterson filed a petition for
writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex.
R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Eric
Berg, presiding judge of the County Court at Law of Washington County, to vacate
his December 14, 2023 and May 7, 2024 orders compelling relator to deposit
Transamerica Premier Life Instance Company annuity funds into the registry of the
court. In addition, relator seeks to obtain the cost of appeal. Relator has not
established that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator’s
petition for writ of mandamus. We lift this court’s June 10, 2024 stay order.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Wilson.
