IN RE LIVING CENTERS OF TEXAS, INC. D/B/A NORTHWAY HEALTH CARE LIVING CENTER, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

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

On May 2, 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.

Relator seeks relief from the trial court=s order requiring production of documents that relator asserts are protected by the medical peer review and quality assurance privilege. Relator also asserts that real party=s discovery is overbroad. Relator has not established that it is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

Relator also requested an emergency stay of the trial court's order, which this court granted on May 4, 2005. This court orders the stay lifted.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed July 12, 2005.

Panel consists of Justices Edelman, Seymore, and Guzman.
