Denied and Opinion Filed July 20, 2016.

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-00839-CV IN RE IC, JAMES DONDERO, Relator Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-11-16417 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Francis Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which he contends the trial court abused its discretion by granting Real Party in Interest’s motion for new trial and by entering the Second Amended Final Decree, which modified the possession order included in the First Amended Final Decree.

To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins.

Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).

Accordingly, we DENY relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
