IN RE JONATHAN RUTE, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 296th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 296-03470-2016
Before Justices Molberg, Reichek, and Smith
MEMORANDUM OPINION
CRAIG SMITH JUSTICE
In his July 15, 2021 amended petition for writ of mandamus and request for emergency relief, relator contends that the trial court abused its discretion by (1) concluding that he waived his privileges and privacy rights regarding certain emails; and (2) ordering in camera review of those emails. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that he lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).
Based on our review of the petition and record, we conclude that relator has failed to show his entitlement to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus, and deny the request for emergency relief as moot.
