IN RE: 1776 ENERGY PARTNERS (2017)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before the Court is relator's petition for writ of mandamus in which relator complains of an order denying relator's motion to strike its deemed admissions and an order striking relator's expert designations. To be entitled to 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). Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown it is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we DENY relator's petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines the relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
