in Re Melissa Larsen ( 2018 )

Denied and Opinion Filed December 19, 2018
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00812-CV
IN RE MELISSA LARSEN, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 101st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-05693
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Stoddart
Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which relator complains of
the trial court’s expedited discovery order and the trial court’s contempt order. 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. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of
mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines
relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
