IN RE ISABELLE EDWARDS, Relator


Original Proceeding from the 44th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-12014

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Burns, and Justices Myers and Evans
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns

Before the Court is relator's July 20, 2020 petition for a writ of mandamus regarding orders denying relator's motions for sanctions, a hearing set in August 2020 regarding the court reporter's challenge to relator's affidavit of indigency, relator's inability to access documents on the trial court's website due to the clerk's removal of those documents when relator failed to redact personal identifying information, and, real party in interest's continued inclusion of dismissed co-defendants in his pleadings. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the petition, and noting relator has failed to comply with TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(h) and (k), we conclude relator has not shown she is entitled to the relief requested.

Accordingly, we DENY relator's petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
