Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-22-00058-CV IN RE William Wesley RUTH, Relator Original Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Delivered and Filed: June 29, 2022 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED On January 28, 2022, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to compel the respondent trial judge to vacate her December 27, 2021 orders granting the real party in interest’s motion for partial summary judgment and denying relator’s motions to dismiss, which relator complains were all rendered ex parte. Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy, available only when the relator can show (1) the trial court clearly abused its discretion; and (2) there is no adequate remedy by appeal. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839–40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). After considering the petition and the record, this court concludes relator did not show he is entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). PER CURIAM This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 16375, styled Commission for Lawyer Discipline v. William Wesley Ruth, pending in the 216th Judicial District Court, Gillespie County, Texas, the Honorable Cynthia Marie Chapa presiding. 1
