COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

IN RE: MARIA KAZERANI

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus

and Motion for Temporary Relief and Stay of Proceedings

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza and Vela Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam ⁽¹⁾

   Relator, Maria Kazerani, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which she requests that this Court direct respondent, the Honorable Ricardo Rodriguez, presiding judge of the 92nd District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, to vacate the trial court's order denying relator's request for jury trial. Relator also filed a motion for temporary relief and stay of proceedings.

This Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus and the motion for temporary relief and stay of proceedings, is of the opinion that relator has not shown herself entitled to the relief sought and the petition and motion should be denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus and motion for temporary relief and stay of proceedings are DENIED.

PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and

filed this the 13th day of February, 2009.
