In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-22-00379-CV __________________

IN RE 1ST CHOICE ACCIDENT & INJURY, LLC __________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding 284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 20-09-11398-CV __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION In a petition for a writ of mandamus, Relator, 1st Choice Accident & Injury, LLC, a non-party management services organization for a non-party medical provider, seeks mandamus relief to compel the trial court to vacate an order denying a protective order in a suit resulting from a motor vehicle accident. Relator argues information and documents relating to the business and payment relationship between Relator and a chiropractor who treated the Plaintiff, Angel Fermin Sanchez, are irrelevant to the issues in the lawsuit and the Real Party in Interest, Satyanarayana Vanama, has either obtained the information from the plaintiff or could obtain the

information from the chiropractor. After reviewing Relator’s mandamus petition and the documents it provided with the petition, we conclude that Relator failed to establish that the trial court abused its discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

PETITION DENIED.
