THOMPSON,
Presiding Judge, concurring specially.
A petitioner seeking a writ of mandamus bears a high burden.
“The writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy; it will not be issued unless the petitioner shows ‘ “ ‘(1) a clear legal right in the petitioner to the order sought; (2) an imperative duty upon the respondent to perform, accompanied by a refusal to do so; (3) the lack of another adequate remedy; and (4) properly invoked jurisdiction of the court.’ ” ’ Ex parte Inverness Constr. Co., 775 So.2d 153, 156 (Ala.2000) (quoting Ex parte Gates, 675 So.2d 371, 374 (Ala.1996)); Ex parte Pfizer, Inc., 746 So.2d 960, 962 (Ala.1999).”
Ex parte Children’s Hosp. of Alabama, 931 So.2d 1, 5-6 (Ala.2005). As detailed in the main opinion, A.J., the mother, failed to meet that high burden in this case; therefore, her petition must be denied.
