IN RE RICK D. BATY, Relators

 

 

 

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On April 8, 2009, relator, Rick D. Baty, 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, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Joseph H. Halbach, Jr., presiding judge of the 333rd District Court of Harris County, to vacate his March 10, 2009 order compelling arbitration. 

Relator has not established his entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus.  See In re Gulf Exploration, LLC, 52 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 612, 2009 WL 1028049 (Tex. Apr. 17, 2009) (orig. proceeding).  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.


 

PER CURIAM

 

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Yates and Frost.
