DENY; and Opinion Filed September 10, 2014. S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00961-CV IN RE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, Relator Original Proceeding from the 160th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-10896 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices FitzGerald, Francis, and Lewis Opinion by Justice Lewis Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus requesting that the Court order the trial court to enter an order severing each of the remaining plaintiffs claims into separate lawsuits. The facts and issues are well-known to the parties so we do not recount them here. Ordinarily, to obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135 36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown it is entitled to the relief requested at this time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DENY relator s petition for writ of mandamus. /David Lewis/ DAVID LEWIS JUSTICE 140961F.P05
