IN RE MICHAEL AMEND AND LOWE'S COMPANIES, INC., Relators


Original Proceeding from the 429th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 429-00257-2019

Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle

MEMORANDUM OPINION

CORY L. CARLYLE JUSTICE

Before the Court is relators' petition for writ of mandamus challenging the trial court's order denying relators' objections to real party in interest's Requests for Production Nos. 1 and 10 as to Lowe's and Nos. 3 and 10 as to Michael Amend.

Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that they lack an adequate appellate remedy. In re Copart, Inc., 619 S.W.3d 710, 713 (Tex. 2021) (orig. proceeding) (citing In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding)).

Based on our review of the mandamus record, the petition for writ of mandamus, the response, and relators' reply, we conclude relators have failed to demonstrate that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

We also lift the stay issued by this Court's January 11, 2022 order.
