regarding their child’s best interests.”

In connection with the mandamus petition, relator also filed a “Motion for

Temporary Relief.” In the motion, relator requested that the Court stay all trial court

proceedings pending this Court’s consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus.

We conclude that relator has failed to establish entitlement to mandamus

relief, and therefore the Court denies relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and

“Motion for Emergency Temporary Relief.” We dismiss any pending motions as

moot.

Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Gunn, and Dokupil.
