IN RE JOHN WORLDPEACE, Relator
 
 

 
ORIGINAL
PROCEEDING
WRIT
OF MANDAMUS
 

 
M E M O R A N D U M   O
P I N I O N




Relator John Worldpeace filed a
petition for writ of mandamus in this court. 
See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2004); see
also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In his petition, relator asserts the
Honorable James R. Fry, who was assigned by the Texas Supreme Court to preside
over a disciplinary proceeding against relator, abused his discretion in
several respects in severing claims from his disbarment proceeding.[1]  Relator raises five issues asserting the
trial court abused its discretion by: (1) refusing to clarify its severance
order; (2) confusing severance of claims with separate trials; (3) considering
a summary judgment motion filed under the wrong cause number; (4) and (5)
incorrectly applying the Rules of Disciplinary Procedure and the Rules of Civil
Procedure concerning relator=s counterclaims.
Relator has not established he is entitled to extraordinary
relief.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3, 52.7; Walker
v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-40 (Tex. 1992).  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.
