IN RE DEBRA LOUISE MCLEOD, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
County Court at Law
Waller County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 20-08-26306A

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On March 8, 2024, relator Debra Louise McLeod filed a petition for writ of
mandamus, a motion for temporary relief, and a motion for leave to file the
mandamus record under seal 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 Robert J. Kern, presiding judge of the County Court at Law of Waller
County, to vacate the trial court’s February 23, 2024 order granting third-party
defendants’ and Jay Sears’ motion to compel arbitration.

Relator has not established that she is entitled to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. Additionally,
relator’s motion for temporary relief and motion for leave to file the mandamus
record under seal are denied.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Zimmerer, and Poissant.
