IN RE JOHN WORLDPEACE, Relator

 

 

 

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N


Relator John Worldpeace filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In his petition, relator asserts the Honorable James R. Fry, who was assigned by the Texas Supreme Court to preside over a disciplinary proceeding against relator, abused his discretion in several respects in severing claims from his disbarment proceeding.[1]  Relator raises five issues asserting the trial court abused its discretion by: (1) refusing to clarify its severance order; (2) confusing severance of claims with separate trials; (3) considering a summary judgment motion filed under the wrong cause number; (4) and (5) incorrectly applying the Rules of Disciplinary Procedure and the Rules of Civil Procedure concerning relator=s counterclaims.

Relator has not established he is entitled to extraordinary relief.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3, 52.7; Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992).  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.
