in Re: Michael A. Ruff ( 2018 )

Denied and Opinion Filed December 6, 2018
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-01456-CV
IN RE MICHAEL A. RUFF, Relator
Original Proceeding from the Probate Court No. 1
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. PR-11-02825-1
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Evans
In this original proceeding, relator seeks a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to
vacate a post-judgment discovery 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.
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).
