Petition for Writ of Mandamus Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed December 18, 2018. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-18-01061-CV IN RE LANETTE MARY MARCHA, Relator ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 311th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2014-52276 MEMORANDUM OPINION On December 10, 2018, relator Lanette Mary Marcha filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West Supp. 2017); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Diane Guariglia, associate judge of the 311th District Court of Harris County, to vacate the Modified Temporary Orders in Suit to Modify Parent-Child Relationship she signed on December 7, 2018. Relator also has filed an emergency motion for temporary relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10. With certain exceptions not applicable here, to obtain mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate remedy at law, such as an appeal. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Relator has not established that she is entitled to mandamus relief. We therefore deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and motion for temporary relief. Additionally, Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.9 prohibits the filing of documents containing sensitive data, including a birth date, home address, and the name of any person who was a minor when the underlying suit was filed. See Tex. R. App. 9.9. It appears that relator’s appendix and record and real party-in-interest’s supplemental appendix include documents showing prohibited sensitive data. To comply with the cited rule, the parties shall act promptly to redact the prohibited sensitive data from these documents and refile the appendixes and the record. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and Jamison. 2
