2Opinion of the Court · HerveyHervey, J.
in which KELLER, P.J., MEYERS, JOHNSON, KEASLER, COCHRAN, and ALCALA, JJ., joined.
Relator, Patrick McCann, seeks writs of mandamus to overturn orders of the trial court directing him to relinquish his former client’s trial file to successor counsel and holding him in contempt for his failure to do so. He also seeks a writ of prohibition to disallow the trial court from enforcing its order compelling him to turn the file over. We will conditionally grant Relator relief on his petition for writs of mandamus and dismiss his petition for a writ of prohibition.
