in Re: The Cardio Group, LLC ( 2018 )

DENY; and Opinion Filed December 19, 2018.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00777-CV
IN RE THE CARDIO GROUP, LLC, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 101st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-05693
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which relator complains of a
discovery order that relator argues requires production of trade secrets before the trial court hears
and decides relator’s motion 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 relator has not shown it 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).
