General Motors Corp. v. Gayle

OPINION

EDELMAN, Justice.

General Motors Corporation (“GM”), seeks a writ of mandamus directing Judge J. Ray Gayle III, to vacate three orders (1) overruling GM’s objection to proceeding to trial on the nonjury docket, (2) denying GM’s motion for continuance, and (3) allowing the plaintiffs and their representatives to attend certain crash tests performed by GM’s expert witnesses. We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
