Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-21-00274-CV __________________

IN RE THOMAS N. CAMPBELL, CHRISTY W. KOLVA, ISABELLE CAMPBELL, ASHLEY GATES, FOSTER MANAGEMENT, L.L.C., AND FOSTER TIMBER, LTD. __________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding 284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 18-12-15871-CV __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION In a petition for a writ of mandamus, Relators (Thomas N. Campbell, Christy W. Kolva, Isabelle Campbell, Ashley Gates, Foster Management, L.L.C., and Foster Timber, Ltd.) ask this Court to order the trial court to promptly consider and rule on their Application for In-Kind Liquidation and Discovery Motion.

To obtain extraordinary relief in a writ of mandamus, Relators must show that the trial court abused its discretion and no adequate remedy exist through a regular appeal. See In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex. 2004)

(orig. proceeding). In determining whether a remedy by appeal is adequate, we consider whether the benefits outweigh the detriments of mandamus review. In re BP Products N. Am., Inc., 244 S.W.3d 840, 845 (Tex. 2008) (orig. proceeding).

After reviewing the petition, the responses filed by the real parties in interest, and the Relators’ reply, we conclude that Relators have not shown that they are entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus.

PETITION DENIED.

PER CURIAM Submitted on September 28, 2021 Opinion Delivered November 24, 2021 Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ.
