ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On January 20, 2005, relator 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 its petition, relator asked this Court to compel the Honorable Joseph ATad@ Halbach, presiding judge of the 333rd District Court in Harris County, Texas, to set aside that portion of its January 20, 2005, order in cause number 2003-09558 compelling production of documents that it asserts are protected by the medical peer review and quality assurance privilege. Relator also requested an emergency stay of the trial court=s order, which this court denied on February 2, 2005, after relator supplemented its appendix to provide a certified copy of the trial court=s order.

Relator has not established that it is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.
