IN RE STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY
              AND TODD JOSEPH DAUPER, Relators

           Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 4
                            Dallas County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause No. CC-23-00225-D

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Pedersen, III, Nowell, and Miskel
                            Opinion by Justice Miskel
      In their May 30, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus, relators seek relief from

the trial court’s denial of their motion for abatement.

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

clearly abused its discretion and that relators lack an adequate appellate remedy. 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

relators have failed to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief.
      Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a). Having denied the petition, we also deny relators’ motion for temporary

relief as moot.
