IN RE AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY


Original Proceeding
60th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. B-195 ,107

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this mandamus proceeding, American General Life Insurance Company ("AGLIC") contends that the trial court abused its discretion by compelling AGLIC to respond to requests for class discovery. We granted a temporary stay and requested a response from the real parties in interest. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b)(1); 52.10(b).

Mandamus will issue only when the petition and record establish a clear abuse of discretion for which the relator has no adequate remedy at law. See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the mandamus petition, response, reply, and record, we conclude that AGLIC has not shown that it is entitled to mandamus relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we lift our stay order and deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. Id.

PETITION DENIED.
