IN RE: Stephen C. Scanlon (2015)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Dallas.

IN RE: Stephen C. Scanlon, Relator

No. 05–15–00484–CV

Decided: April 20, 2015

Before Justices Francis, Myers, and Schenck

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus after the trial court denied his motion for enforcement of the possession order in this suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Relator contends the trial court committed plain legal error in interpreting the language of its order. Ordinarily, to obtain 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). We conclude the relator has failed to establish a right to relief. We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. Tex.R.App. P. 52.8.
