ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N


On March 6, 2007, relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relators asked this court to compel the Honorable Lynn Bradshaw-Hull, presiding judge of the 80th District Court of Harris County, to set aside her ruling (1) denying relators permission to have ex parte communications with plaintiff=s current or previous employers regarding plaintiff=s employment history and with plaintiff=s treating health care providers rendering care to plaintiff for the injuries made the basis of this lawsuit and (2) denying their motion to compel execution of a medical authorization that would not expire during the pendency of the lawsuit and directed to health care providers not still actively treating plaintiff.

Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief.  Accordingly, we deny relators= petition for writ of mandamus.
