In re Lakeith Amir-Sharif

Summary

The Fifth District Court of Appeals of Texas considered a supplemental petition for writ of mandamus concerning the sequence in which the trial court handled various motions. The court held that the relator failed to demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion and denied the petition.

Holdings

1. A relator seeking mandamus relief must show both that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that the relator lacks an adequate appellate remedy; relator failed to demonstrate a clear abuse of discretion, so mandamus relief was denied.

Questions Presented

1. Whether relator demonstrated that the trial court clearly abused its discretion in handling the sequence of various motions.
2. Whether relator was entitled to mandamus relief.
