Opinion

Opinion issued June 5, 2025

In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00975-CV ——————————— IN RE RYAN DIGIOVANNI, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, Ryan DiGiovanni, filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging

the trial court’s October 3, 2024 “Order Granting Motion to Decline Jurisdiction

Based on Inconvenient Forum and Motion to Stay Proceedings.”1 Relator requested

that this Court “grant th[e] petition for writ of mandamus and hold that the trial court

1 The underlying case is In the Interest of A.J.D. a Minor Child, Cause No. 2024-14760, in the 308th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Gloria Lopez presiding. clearly abused its discretion in staying part or all of this case, and [that] [r]elator

lacks an adequate remedy by appeal.”

We conclude that relator has failed to establish he is entitled to mandamus

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

dismiss any pending motions as moot.

Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Gunn, and Dokupil.
