COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

           Relator, Stone Container Corporation, asks this Court to issue a writ of mandamus against the Honorable Kathleen Olivares, Judge of the 205th District Court of El Paso County. Mandamus will lie only to correct a clear abuse of discretion. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Moreover, there must be no other adequate remedy at law. Id. Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude that Respondent clearly abused her discretion. Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
