in Re: Frederick Altyman Brown, Jr. ( 2021 )

DENY and Opinion Filed October 7, 2021
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00801-CV
IN RE FREDERICK ALTYMAN BROWN, JR., Relator
Original Proceeding from the 191st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-19-20105
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Schenck, Nowell, and Garcia
Opinion by Justice Garcia
Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus asks that we compel the trial court to
rule on a special appearance filed months after the court granted a summary
judgment motion and on other matters pertaining to the court’s jurisdiction and
recusal. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show 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 petition and the record before us, we conclude that relator has failed to
show his entitlement to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny the petition for
writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
Having denied the petition, we also deny relator’s motion for stay as moot.
