In Re Carnival Corp.

OPINION ON REHEARING

JANE BLAND, Justice.

Relator Carnival Corporation seeks mandamus relief from a death penalty sanction imposed by the trial court. 1 Carnival contends the trial court abused its discretion when, as its first order in this discovery dispute, it struck Carnival’s pleadings and entered judgment against Carnival on all liability issues. We conditionally granted mandamus relief on January 27, 2006. The real party in interest moved for rehearing. We grant the motion, withdraw the opinion dated January 27, 2006, and issue this opinion in its stead. Our disposition remains unchanged.
