IN RE KNJ ENTERPRISES, INC. AND ABDUL RAHIM KABANI, Relators
Petition for Writ of Mandamus Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed September 26, 2013.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
164th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2012-12849
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On August 28, 2013, relators KNJ Enterprises, Inc. and Abdul Rahim Kabani filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this Court to compel the Honorable Alexandra Smoots-Hogan, presiding judge of the 164th District Court of Harris County, to vacate her May 29, 2013 order granting the motion to compel arbitration and denying the motion to consolidate.
Relators have not established their entitlement to mandamus relief. Specifically as to the order compelling arbitration, relators have not shown that they do not have an adequate remedy by appeal. See In re Gulf Exploration, LLC, 289 S.W.3d 836 (Tex. 2009). Accordingly, we deny relators' petition for writ of mandamus.
Panel Consists of Justices Brown, Christopher, and Busby.
