                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      In a petition for a writ of mandamus, Relator, 1st Choice Accident & Injury,

LLC, a non-party management services organization for a non-party medical

provider, seeks mandamus relief to compel the trial court to vacate an order denying

a protective order in a suit resulting from a motor vehicle accident. Relator argues

information and documents relating to the business and payment relationship

between Relator and a chiropractor who treated the Plaintiff, Angel Fermin Sanchez,

are irrelevant to the issues in the lawsuit and the Real Party in Interest, Satyanarayana

Vanama, has either obtained the information from the plaintiff or could obtain the

                                           1
information from the chiropractor. After reviewing Relator’s mandamus petition and

the documents it provided with the petition, we conclude that Relator failed to

establish that the trial court abused its discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition

for a writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

      PETITION DENIED.
