in Re: Steven B. Aubrey ( 2020 )

DENY; Opinion Filed January 14, 2020.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-01342-CV
IN RE STEVEN B. AUBREY, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 14th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-15-08135
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Myers, Schenck, and Nowell
Opinion by Justice Nowell
Before the Court is relator’s November 4, 2019 petition for writ of mandamus seeking
relief with respect to two post-judgment discovery orders. In his petition, relator also challenges
the trial court’s jurisdiction, and the denial of his motion to appear at an August 14, 2019 hearing
by telephone.
To be entitled to mandamus relief, 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.
of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the petition, and
the mandamus record, 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).
