                                        In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

   IN RE KARLA D. STOVER AND ROBERT J.S. THOMPSON, Relators

           Original Proceeding from the 191st Judicial District Court
                             Dallas County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-07079

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Pedersen, III, Nowell, and Miskel
                            Opinion by Justice Miskel
      Before the Court is relators’ May 31, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus

wherein relators seek relief from the trial court’s denial of their motion to stay.

      Entitlement to mandamus relief requires relators to demonstrate that the trial

court clearly abused its discretion and that they lack 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 relators’ petition and the record before us, we conclude that

relators have failed to demonstrate entitlement to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we

deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus.
     We also deny relators’ motion for emergency stay of proceedings as moot.
