MEMORANDUM OPINION
On November 19, 2003, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov't. Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex.R.App.P. 52. In the petition, relator seeks to have this Court direct the Hon. Lisa Millard, presiding judge of the 310th District Court in Harris County, to set aside her order of November 13, 2003, entered in cause number 2003-43072. Relator also requested an emergency stay of the trial court's order and a writ of prohibition.
We have jurisdiction to issue a writ of prohibition only to protect our own jurisdiction. See Holloway v. Fifth Court of Appeals, 767 S.W.2d 680, 683 (Tex. 1989). There is no appeal pending in this matter; thus, we have no jurisdiction to issue a writ of prohibition. We also deny relator's request for emergency relief. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.10(a).
We find relator has not established an abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
