Denied and Opinion Filed December 31, 2020

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-20-00730-CV IN RE NURAN, INC., Relator Original Proceeding from the 44th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-17708 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Whitehill, Pedersen, III, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Carlyle Relator’s August 11, 2020 petition for writ of mandamus asks us to compel the trial court to vacate: (1) the denial of relator’s motion to abate pending joinder of another party; and (2) the denial of relator’s motion to expunge the notices of lis pendens. Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show 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 petition, real parties in interest’s response, relator’s reply, and the record before us, we conclude that relator has failed to show its entitlement to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
