IN RE JAMES LEVI SMITH, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
On July 16, 2003, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court seeking to vacate the trial court=s September 13, 2002 dismissal of his divorce lawsuit for want of prosecution. See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. The petition is not in compliance with Tex. R. App. P. 52.3. Furthermore, mandamus relief is available only in limited circumstances to correct a clear abuse of discretion when the relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-44 (Tex. 1992). Relator had an adequate remedy by appeal following dismissal of his case.
We deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.
