DENY and Opinion Filed April 7, 2023

                                     S  In The
                              Court of Appeals
                       Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                 No. 05-23-00326-CV

IN RE EVERETT FINANCIAL, INC. D/B/A SUPREME LENDING, Relator

            Original Proceeding from the 44th Judicial District Court
                             Dallas County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-15697

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Carlyle, and Garcia
                              Opinion by Justice Garcia
      Before the Court are relator’s April 6, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus and

emergency motion for temporary stay. In the petition, relator seeks mandamus relief

from the trial court’s April 4, 2023 Order Denying Plaintiff’s Motion for Protective

Order.

         Entitlement to mandamus relief generally requires relator to demonstrate that

the trial court clearly abused its discretion and that relator 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 the petition and the record before us, we

conclude that relator has failed to show the trial court abused its discretion.
      Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a). Having denied the petition, we also deny the emergency motion as moot.
