   MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Relator, Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, L.P., filed a motion for temporary relief and petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on August 5, 2004. That same day, the Court granted the motion for temporary relief and requested a response from the real parties in interest. The real parties in interest have filed a response and a motion for sanctions, and relator has filed a reply.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus and the response, is of the opinion that relator has not shown itself entitled to the relief sought and the petition for wilt of mandamus should be denied. See Tex. R.App. P. 52.8. Accordingly, the stay of the trial court proceedings is hereby ordered LIFTED. The petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED.

Real parties in interest have moved for sanctions against relator on each of the grounds specified in Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.11. See Tex.R.App. P. 52.11. We have carefully considered the motion for sanctions. Based on our review of the pleadings and record, we find the motion is not frivolous. Nevertheless, the motion, as it pertains to this original proceeding, is DENIED. We are confident that the trial court will take any steps deemed necessary to ensure that the parties and their counsel strictly comply with their ethical and professional obligations in further proceedings below. 
      
      . See Tex.R.App. P. 47.1.
