Texas Appellate Lawyer & Attorney : D. Todd Smith Law Firm : Appeals, Sanctions, Summary Judgment : Austin, Texas

The Texas Supreme Court issued no opinions with today's orders.  Interestingly, the Court denied the motion to recuse filed in In re Columbia Medical Center, Subsidiary, L.P. (No. 06-0416) (previously discussed here and  here), which reportedly had been set for oral argument with the mandamus petition next Thursday.

UPDATE: The Court's spokesman, Osler McCarthy, has confirmed that reports of a hearing on the Columbia motion were mere rumors.  Accordingly, I have taken down today's earlier post on that subject.  Ugh!

Appellate geeks like me are already interested in In re Columbia Medical Center, Subsidiary, L.P.  (No. 06-0416), a case in which the Texas Supreme Court will re-examine whether a trial court's decision to grant a new trial is reviewable by mandamus.  (Oral argument is set for September 27.)  But the real parties in interest have filed a recusal motion that will lift more than a few eyebrows.  Texas Lawyer provides the details here.
