IN RE: CLARENDON NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY AND EFFECTIVE CLAIMS MANAGEMENT, INC.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus

Relator, Clarendon National Insurance Company and Effective Claims Management, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on September 11, 2007, in which it alleges that the respondent, the Honorable Joseph P. Kelly, Presiding Judge of the 377th Judicial District Court of Victoria County, Texas, abused his discretion by denying relator's motion for summary judgment.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus, is of the opinion that relator has not shown itself entitled to the relief sought and the petition for writ of mandamus should be denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED.

PER CURIAM
