Petition for Writ of Mandamus Denied and Opinion filed January 12, 2017. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-16-00969-CV IN RE HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC. D/B/A HALLIBURTON AND JUAN JOSE SALOMON, Relators ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 234th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2015-58155 MEMORANDUM OPINION On December 5, 2016, relators Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. D/B/A Halliburton and Juan Jose Salomon filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable Wesley Ward, presiding judge of the 234th District Court of Harris County, to vacate his: (1) November 14, 2016 Order Granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Quash Defendants’ Notice of Intention to Take Depositions by Written Questions and Motion for Protective Order and (2) November 14, 2016 Order Granting Plaintiff’s No Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment. To obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that the relator has no adequate remedy by appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Relators have not established that they are entitled to mandamus relief. We therefore deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Jamison, and Donovan. 2
