DENY and Opinion Filed April 10, 2023

                                     S  In The
                               Court of Appeals
                        Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                                No. 05-23-00330-CV

                          IN RE JAMES JONES, Relator

           Original Proceeding from the 14th Judicial District Court
                            Dallas County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-18199

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Carlyle, and Garcia
                             Opinion by Justice Garcia
      Before the Court are relator’s April 10, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus

and emergency motion for temporary relief. In his petition, relator seeks mandamus

relief from the trial court’s March 27, 2023 Order Denying his “Motion for

Reconsideration of Denial of Agreed Motion for Continuance.”

       Entitlement to mandamus relief 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.
