PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
On November 24, 2014, relator Jourdanton Hospital Corporation d/b/a South Texas
Regional Medical Center filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court’s
order denying its request to conduct an independent medical examination of a plaintiff in the
underlying medical negligence lawsuit. The court has considered relator’s petition for writ of
mandamus and is of the opinion that relator is not entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the
petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
