PER CURIAM

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

In a petition for a writ of mandamus, relator Bruce Christensen complains of the trial court's denial of his motion to compel discovery in the underlying civil suit. Mandamus relief is proper to correct a discovery ruling only when the relator establishes that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that the remedy offered by an ordinary appeal is inadequate. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Having reviewed the petition and the limited record before us, we conclude that Christensen has not shown himself entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, the petition is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

PER CURIAM

1. This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2005-CI-17948, styled Bruce Christensen v. Patricia K. Christensen, pending in the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Martha Tanner presiding. However, the challenged ruling was made by the Honorable Andy Mireles, presiding judge of the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas.
