Denied and Opinion Filed December 4, 2018
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-01418-CV
IN RE JENNIFER CARAWAY, LEE BROOKE,
AND AVIDEL MEDICIAL MANAGEMENT, INC., Relators
Original Proceeding from the 366th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 417-05808-2018
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Boatright
Opinion by Justice Bridges
In this original proceeding, relators seek a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to
vacate orders denying relators’ requests for expedited discovery and for protective order and issue
orders granting relators’ requests for expedited discovery and for protective 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 relators have
not shown a clear abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny relators’ 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).
