MEMORANDUM OPINION


Relators DP Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Diversified Insurance Facilities, John F. Armstrong, and G. Edward Goodwin filed a petition for writ of mandamus, in which they contend the trial court abused its discretion when it disqualified relators' counsel.

Mandamus will issue only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or violation of a duty imposed by law when that abuse cannot be remedied by appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). After reviewing the mandamus record and petition, we conclude that the relators have not demonstrated an abuse of discretion by the trial court. Accordingly, we lift our stay order of May 22, 2009, and we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

PETITION DENIED.
