Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-13-00442-CV _________________

IN RE JODIE STRAIN AND AMERITOX, LTD. ________________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Jodie Strain and Ameritox, Ltd. filed a mandamus petition seeking relief from orders compelling production of a privilege log of communications between Strain and Ameritox’s lawyers or between Strain’s lawyers and Ameritox or Ameritox’s lawyers, and compelling production of any agreements or evidence of payments between Strain’s lawyers and Ameritox or its lawyers. We stayed the trial court’s orders and requested a response from the real party in interest, Millennium Laboratories, Inc. After reviewing the record and briefs submitted by the parties, we conclude that the relators have not shown that the trial court clearly abused its discretion. See In re XL Specialty Ins. Co., 373 S.W.3d 46, 51-52 (Tex. 2012); see also Tex. R. Civ. P. 193.3(c), Tex. R. Evid. 503(b)(1)(C). Accordingly, we lift our order of October 3, 2013, and deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

PETITION DENIED.
