Opinion:
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Opinion by
Justice MAZZANT.
Relator contends the trial judge erred in refusing to stay the claims of one of the plaintiffs in the underlying case. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown that the trial court abused its discretion. See In re Prudential, 148 S.W.3d 124, 135-36 (Tex.2003); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex.1992). Accordingly, we DENY relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
