Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

---

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of Judge Benton’s July 18, 2006 order that severed the plaintiffs’ claims and mandated that they be randomly reassigned to the various Harris County district courts.

          We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Taft, Keyes, and Hanks.
