IN RE No. 08-15-00012-CV
§
MARK BROWN, ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
§
RELATOR. ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF
§
MANDAMUS
§
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Mark Brown, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus against the Honorable
Roy Ferguson, Judge of the 394th District Court of Culberson County, Texas, requesting that we
direct Respondent to withdraw an order granting a motion to compel discovery. We previously
granted Relator’s motion to stay the discovery order pending our review of the mandamus
petition. The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must meet two requirements. First, the
relator must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. In re Prudential Insurance
Company of America, 148 S.W.3d 124, 135 (Tex. 2004). Second, the relator must demonstrate
that there is no adequate remedy by appeal. Id. at 136. Based on the record before us, we
conclude that Relator has failed to establish he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we
lift the stay and deny mandamus relief.
