TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-08-00015-CV

In re Premier Ambulatory Surgery of Austin, L.L.P.

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On January 8, 2008, relator Premier Ambulatory Surgery of Austin, L.L.P., filed a

petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004);

see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1 In the petition, relator asks this Court to direct the Honorable Orlinda

Naranjo, presiding judge of the 419th Judicial District Court of Travis County, to withdraw

her November 30, 2007, order denying relator’s motion to compel certain discovery and her

December 11, 2007, order denying relator’s motion to disqualify counsel for the real parties in

interest David W. Hilgers, Hilgers & Watkins, P.C., and Brown McCarroll, L.L.P.2

1

On January 29, 2008, relator also filed an emergency request for temporary stay with this

Court. Relator advised this Court on February 7, 2008, that the parties had reached an agreement

rendering the request for temporary stay moot. We, therefore, dismiss relator’s request for temporary

stay as moot.

2

On January 11, 2008, real parties in interest tendered to this Court a sealed box containing

copies of the documents that Judge Naranjo reviewed in camera in connection with relator’s motion

to compel. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 193.4. Real parties in interest requested that this Court keep the

sealed box of documents separate from the remainder of the record and permit only court personnel

Relator has not established its entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of

mandamus. See In re Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., 164 S.W.3d 379, 382 (Tex. 2005); In re

Nitla S.A. de C.V., 92 S.W.3d 419, 422-23 (Tex. 2002); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40

(Tex. 1992). Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
