DENY and Opinion Filed July 14, 2022 In the Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-22-00425-CV IN RE JOHN MICHAEL FITZPATRICK, Relator Original Proceeding from the 429th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 429-50901-2020 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Carlyle Relator’s May 4, 2022 petition for writ of mandamus challenges the trial court’s “Temporary Orders Pending Appeal.” Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that he lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Copart, Inc., 619 S.W.3d 710, 713 (Tex. 2021) (orig. proceeding) (citing In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding)). After reviewing the petition and the record before us, we conclude that relator has not shown his entitlement to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. 220425f.p05 /Cory L. Carlyle/ CORY L. CARLYLE JUSTICE –2–
