IN RE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 160th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-10896
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Francis, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Lewis
Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus requesting that the Court order the trial court to enter an order severing each of the remaining plaintiffs' claims into separate lawsuits. The facts and issues are well-known to the parties so we do not recount them here. Ordinarily, to obtain mandamus relief, a relator must 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). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown it is entitled to the relief requested at this time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DENY relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
