IN RE MEMORIAL HERMANN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND MEMORIAL HERMANN HOSPITAL SYSTEM, Relators

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            On December 28, 2009, relators, Memorial Hermann Healthcare System and Memorial Hermann Hospital System, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relators ask this court to compel the Honorable Al Bennett, presiding judge of the 61st District Court of Harris County, to set aside his December 14, 2009 ruling overruling relators’ objection to the admission of settlement documents into evidence at trial. 

            Relators have not established their entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus.  Accordingly, we deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus.

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Yates, Anderson, and Christopher.
