IN RE KATHLEEN MORELAND RICH, Relator





Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus





MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relator, Kathleen Mooreland Rich, has filed a petition of writ of mandamus complaining of Judge Georgia Dempster’s January 21, 2003 order denying relator’s motion to compel attendance at arbitration under the Uniform Arbitration Act. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §§ 171.001-.098 (Vernon Supp. 2003).

          We deny the petition for writ of mandamus because relator has an adequate remedy by its interlocutory appeal in cause number 01-03-00078-CV. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 171.098 (Vernon Supp. 2003).

 

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Hedges, Jennings, and Alcala.
