IN RE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS, LLC AND JAMES S. GODDARD JR.,
Relators
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators Innovative Solutions, LLC and James S. Goddard Jr. challenge the
trial court’s oral order sending the parties to mediation.1 Relators have also filed a
motion to stay the trial court’s order pending disposition of this proceeding.
1
The underlying case is Harris Kempner Jr. and Harris Kempner III v. Innovative
Vision Solutions, LLC and James S. Goddard, Jr., cause number 16-CV-0912,
pending in the 212th District Court of Galveston County, Texas, the Honorable
Patricia Grady presiding.
Relators have not demonstrated that the trial court abused its discretion in
sending the parties to mediation. See In re Ford Motor Co., 988 S.W.2d 714, 718
(Tex. 1998) (mandamus will only issue if relator demonstrates both abuse of
discretion by trial court and no adequate remedy by appeal). Accordingly, we deny
the petition. All pending motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Hightower, and Countiss.
