The following excerpt is from Thriftimart, Inc. v. Superior Court In and For Los Angeles County, 202 Cal.App.2d 421, 21 Cal.Rptr. 19 (Cal. App. 1962):
We are convinced that the respondent court abused its [202 Cal.App.2d 427] discretion in not staying further proceedings in case Number 784,008. 'Mandate lies to control judicial discretion when that discretion has been abused.' (Simmons v. Superior Court, supra, 96 Cal.App.2d 119, 132, 214 P.2d 844, 853.)
