DENY; and Opinion Filed December 11, 2017.

                                           S   In The
                                 Court of Appeals
                          Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                        No. 05-17-01365-CV

                               IN RE PETER BEASLEY, Relator

                 Original Proceeding from the 162nd Judicial District Court
                                   Dallas County, Texas
                            Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-03141

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                        Before Justices Lang-Miers, Myers, and Boatright
                                 Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
       Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus in which he complains of a

November 3, 2017 sanctions order and a November 22, 2017 order denying his motion to

disqualify and recuse the trial judge. To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both

that the trial court has clearly abused its discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate

remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).

Based on the record before us, we conclude relator has not shown he is entitled to the relief

requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court determines relator is not entitled to the relief

sought).
