IN RE THE ESTATE OF EDWIN DENNIS COOK, DECEASED, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS Probate Court No. 4 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 406,325-401 MEMORANDUM OPINION On January 15, 2015, relator The Estate of Edwin Dennis Cook, Deceased filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this Court to compel the Honorable Christine Butts, presiding judge of Probate Court No. 4 of Harris County, to set aside the following orders: (1) the December 12, 2014 order denying relator’s motion for discovery abuse; (2) the December 11, 2014 order of instruction regarding electronic discovery; and (3) the December 11, 2014 order granting, in part, real party in interest’s motion to compel discovery responses.

Relator has not shown that it is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and McCally.
