                           WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                              189th District Court
                             Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 2019-38863

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator Ramesh Kapur filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See
Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator
asks this court to compel the Honorable Tamika Craft-Demming, presiding judge of
the 189th District Court of Harris County, to set aside her March 21, 2023 order
granting real party in interest Hughyun International LLC’s motion to vacate,
modify, or correct the summary judgment and motion to extend post-judgment
deadlines.1

        Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

                                           PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Poissant.

        1
          Relator filed his petition on January 23, 2023, naming the Honorable Scott Dollinger as
respondent and asked this court to compel Judge Dollinger to set aside his December 12, 2022 granting
Hughyun’s order vacating the August 16, 2022 summary order. Judge Dollinger ceased to hold the office
of judge of the 189th District Court on January 1, 2023. We abated this mandamus proceeding to permit
Judge Dollinger’s successor, Judge Craft, to consider the decision regarding relator’s request for relief.
See Tex. R. App. P. 7.2(b). On March 17, 2023, Judge Craft-Demming signed an order upholding Judge
Dollinger’s ruling. Judge Craft-Demming’s March 17, 2023 order is the subject of this mandamus
proceeding.
