S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-16-01523-CV
IN RE GUARDIANSHIP OF CLARENCE LAMAR NORSWORTHY,
AN INCAPACITATED PERSON, Relator
On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. PR-16-1331-2
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Fillmore, Myers, and Brown
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
Before the Court is relator Jeanette Norsworthy’s December 29, 2016 petition for writ of
mandamus in which relator contends the probate court abused its discretion by quashing the
depositions of three people and imposing sanctions against her counsel.
To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly
abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co.,
148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we
conclude relator has not shown she 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 relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and deny as moot relator’s emergency motion to
stay trial court proceedings.
