IN RE DONALD L. BLOOM, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Donald L. Bloom, has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus,
challenging the trial court’s actions in the underlying proceeding, including the
dismissal of Bloom’s case against the real party in interest, Donald Ray Stafford,
M.D. Bloom asks that his case “be restored” and be transferred from one trial court
to another trial court.1 To obtain mandamus relief, Bloom must show that the trial
court abused its discretion and he does not have an adequate remedy by appeal. See
In re Nat’l Lloyds Ins. Co., 507 W.W.3d 219, 226 (Tex. 2016) (orig. proceeding).
Because his mandamus proceeding reflects that the trial court has signed a final
judgment dismissing his case, Bloom has an adequate remedy by appeal of the
dismissal order. See In re Quimby, No. 14-18-00550-CV, 2018 WL 3543610, at *1
(Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] July 24, 2018, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); see
also TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(a), 26.1, 26.3.
We deny the petition.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Higley, and Massengale.
