in Re: Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ( 2014 )

Deny and Opinion Filed May 19, 2014.
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00541-CV
IN RE HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 298th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-12-02312-M
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Moseley, Fillmore, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Moseley
The Court has before it relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which relator seeks an
order directing the trial court to grant its motion to dismiss the claims of the California plaintiffs
in the case on the grounds of forum non conveniens. The facts and issues are well known to the
parties, so we need not recount them herein. Based on the record before us, we conclude relator
has not shown it 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 the
petition for writ of mandamus.
