Original Proceeding Writ of Mandamus.

MEMORANDUM OPINION


On November 25, 2008, relator Jeffrey K. Rourke filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he contends the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to dismiss the underlying lawsuit for want of subject-matter jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004); Tex. R. App. P. 52. Relator has also asked that we stay all underlying proceedings pending the resolution of his mandamus petition. We conclude that relator has not demonstrated his entitlement to the extraordinary remedy of a writ of mandamus. Therefore, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. We also deny, as moot, relator's request for temporary relief and "Motion for Ruling on Motion for Temporary Relief."
