In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-17-00150-CV _________________ IN RE AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ________________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding 60th District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. B-195,107 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION In this mandamus proceeding, American General Life Insurance Company (“AGLIC”) contends that the trial court abused its discretion by compelling AGLIC to respond to requests for class discovery. We granted a temporary stay and requested a response from the real parties in interest. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b)(1); 52.10(b). Mandamus will issue only when the petition and record establish a clear abuse of discretion for which the relator has no adequate remedy at law. See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding); 1 Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839–40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). After reviewing the mandamus petition, response, reply, and record, we conclude that AGLIC has not shown that it is entitled to mandamus relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we lift our stay order and deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. Id. PETITION DENIED. PER CURIAM Submitted on May 15, 2017 Opinion Delivered May 25, 2017 Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ. 2
