IN RE CURTIS BURTON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 270th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2015-50245 MEMORANDUM OPINION On February 28, 2020, relator Curtis Burton filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Dedra Davis, presiding judge of the 270th District Court of Harris County, to set aside her February 11, 2020 order denying relator’s motion to disqualify counsel for the defendants in the underlying case.

Relator has failed to show that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We also lift our stay entered on March 2, 2020.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Bourliot, and Hassan.
