EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
EL PASO, TEXAS
IN RE: JAMES LEE SWEED,
Relator.
No. 08-06-00305-CV
AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
IN MANDAMUS
MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Relator James Lee Sweed asks this Court to issue a writ of mandamus against the Honorable Linda Chew, Judge of the 327th District Court, El Paso County, Texas, to compel the trial court to rule on his motions in cause number 2005-5646. 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, there must be no other adequate remedy at law. Id. Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude that Respondent clearly abused her discretion or that Relator has no other adequate remedy. The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
