COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS § IN RE: FREDERICK L. MCGUIRE AND MCGUIRE KELLNER L.L.P., § No. 08-10-00036-CV § AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING § IN MANDAMUS Relators. § § MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS Relators, Frederick L. McGuire and McGuire Kellner L.L.P., have filed a petition for writ of mandamus, requesting this Court to compel the Honorable Bonnie Rangel, Judge of the 171st District Court of El Paso County, to rule on Relators motion to compel arbitration. Mandamus will lie only to correct a clear abuse of discretion. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Moreover, the relator must demonstrate no other adequate remedy exists at law. See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude that Relators are entitled to relief by writ of mandamus. Accordingly, we deny the relief requested in the petition. See TEX . R. APP . P. 52.8(a). Further, we lift the stay entered by previous written order of this Court. GUADALUPE RIVERA, Justice February 10, 2010 Before Chew, C.J., McClure, and Rivera, JJ.
