Deny and Opinion Filed May 19, 2014. S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00541-CV IN RE HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY, Relator Original Proceeding from the 298th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-12-02312-M MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Moseley, Fillmore, and Lewis Opinion by Justice Moseley The Court has before it relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which relator seeks an order directing the trial court to grant its motion to dismiss the claims of the California plaintiffs in the case on the grounds of forum non conveniens. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown it is entitled to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DENY the petition for writ of mandamus. /Jim Moseley/ JIM MOSELEY 140541F.P05 JUSTICE
