DENY and Opinion Filed February 9, 2023

                                          S   In The
                                Court of Appeals
                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                     No. 05-22-01245-CV

                       IN RE ADENIYO OLAOLUWA, Relator

             Original Proceeding from the 134th Judicial District Court
                               Dallas County, Texas
                        Trial Court Cause No. DC-20-09127

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION
                    Before Justices Nowell, Goldstein, and Breedlove1
                              Opinion by Justice Breedlove
           In this original proceeding, relator seeks mandamus relief from the trial

court’s sua sponte (1) order vacating final judgment and (2) order to appear. We

deny the petition.

       Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relator to show that the trial court

clearly abused its discretion and that he lacks an adequate remedy by appeal. In re

Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).

After reviewing relator’s petition, respondent’s response, relator’s reply, and the

       1
         The Honorable Justice Lana Myers was originally a member of this panel. The Honorable Justice
Breedlove succeeded Justice Myers on this panel when her term expired on December 31, 2022.
record before us, we conclude that relator has not shown his entitlement to the relief

requested.

      Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a). We also lift the stay issued by our November 22, 2022 order.
