MEMORANDUM  OPINION ON WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Relator Esther D. Hinson has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, seeking to compel the trial judges to produce Apublic information,@ to hold James Floyd Hinson in contempt, and to Aexpunge@ a charge of filing false police reports.  A writ of mandamus will issue only to correct a clear abuse of discretion when there is no other adequate remedy at law.  Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992)(orig. proceeding).  Relator has not demonstrated either an abuse of discretion or the lack of an adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
