COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
IN RE: ALLIED CHEMICAL CORPORATION, ET AL.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam (1)
On September 26, 2008, relators, Allied Chemical Corp., et al., filed a petition for writ of mandamus with this Court alleging that respondent, the Honorable Mario E. Ramirez, Jr., presiding judge of the 332nd Judicial District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, abused his discretion by: (1) finding certain letters produced to relators by real parties in interest to be privileged and ordering relators to destroy said letters; and (2) denying relators' motion to conduct an in camera inspection of said letters and other documents.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus, is of the opinion that relators have not shown themselves entitled to the relief sought and the petition for writ of mandamus should be denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED.
PER CURIAM

filed this the 15th day of January, 2009.
1. See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4 (distinguishing opinions and memorandum opinions), 52.8(d) ("When denying relief, the court may hand down an opinion but is not required to do so.").
