IN RE BOBBY B. DASH, Relator
Original Proceedings on Petitions for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Bobby B. Dash, proceeding pro se, filed two related mandamus
petitions, with the first one seeking to compel the respondent district judge to amend
his orders denying relator’s motions for summary judgment and motion for
protective order on discovery in the underlying trial court proceeding.1 This Court
1
The underlying proceeding is Bobby B. Dash v. Parc Lake Estates Homeowners
Association, Inc., and Carl Edward Bovermann, John Mgbere, Tracy Hermann,
Cause No. 2017-16096, in the 152nd District Court, Harris County, the Honorable
assigned this first petition to appellate cause number 01-18-00653-CV and requested
and received a response.
Then relator filed a second pro se mandamus petition seeking to compel the
respondent district judge to allow an appeal or to grant a final judgment and he also
requests an opinion on Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 166a(e) to determine whether
the denial of his summary judgment motions is appealable. This Court assigned this
second petition to 01-18-00725-CV, but no response has been requested.
We deny both mandamus petitions. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a), (d).
PER CURIAM

Robert K. Schaffer presiding. This Court previously dismissed for want of

seeking to compel the respondent to rule on relator’s pending motions).
