J. Worthen conditionally grants the estate executor's request for a writ of mandamus challenging the trial court's denial of his motion for discovery protection in this suit brought by family members alleging breach of fiduciary duty.

The record indicates that the executor produced many documents, and the family members do not explain why they are insufficient. The family member's accountant had not reviewed all documents that were produced at the time of the hearing on the executor's motion.
