                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator Alvin Allen Jr. filed a petition for writ of mandamus, in which he

contends that the trial court abused its discretion by denying his motion for summary

judgment.

      Mandamus will issue only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or violation

of a duty imposed by law when that abuse cannot be remedied by appeal. In re

Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004); Walker v. Packer,

827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992). After reviewing the mandamus record and

                                         1
petition, we conclude that Allen has not demonstrated an abuse of discretion by the

trial court for which there is no adequate remedy by appeal. Accordingly, we deny

the petition for writ of mandamus, and we deny Allen’s motion for temporary

emergency relief.

      PETITION DENIED; MOTION FOR TEMPORARY EMERGENCY

RELIEF DENIED.
