IN RE SHELTER PROPERTIES II, et al,

From the 408th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2000-CI-03652

Honorable Janet P. Littlejohn, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Tom Rickhoff, Justice

Paul W. Green, Justice

Karen Angelini, Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 28, 2001

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Relator petitions this court for a writ of mandamus, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, alleging the trial court abused its discretion in denying its motion to compel arbitration. Relator has failed to establish that the arbitration clause here "evidenc[es] a transaction involving commerce ..." 9 U.S.C.A. § 2 (West 2000). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus because we lack the jurisdiction to consider it.
