in Re: Gregory Duncan ( 2017 )

Denied and Opinion Filed February 16, 2017
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-17-00155-CV
IN RE GREGORY DUNCAN, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 116th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-08535
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Lang, and Evans
Opinion by Justice Evans
Before the Court is relator’s February 14, 2017 petition for writ of mandamus in which he
complains of the trial court’s February 1, 2017 sanctions 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
he 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.
