Opinion

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Opinion by

Justice WHITTINGTON.

Relators assert the trial judge abused his discretion in granting a motion for new trial after a jury had found in relators’ favor in a medical negligence lawsuit. The trial judge granted the new trial solely “in the interests of justice and fairness”. The trial judge’s explanation for the granting of the new trial was sufficient. See In re Volkswagen of Am., Inc., 22 S.W.3d 462 (Tex.2000)(orig.proceeding) and In re Bayerische Motoren Werke, AG, 8 S.W.3d 326 (Tex.2000) (orig.proceeding). Accordingly, relators’ petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See Tex.R.App. P. 52.8(a).
