IN RE MEDALIST HOLDINGS, INC., LEEWARD HOLDINGS, LLC, CAMARILLO HOLDINGS, LLC, MICHAEL LACEY, AND JAMES LARKTN, Relators
Original Proceeding from the 44th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-00951
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Whitehill, Partida-Kipness, and Pedersen, III
Opinion by Justice Partida-Kipness
Before the Court are relators' petition for writ of mandamus and the response briefs of the Backpage real parties in interest and of real party in interest Plaintiff XXXXXXXX. In this original proceeding, relators seek a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to vacate a February 20, 2019 order denying relators' motion for protective order and ordering relators to produce the documents for which relators sought protection.
To be entitled to 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 relators have not shown they are entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relators' 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).
