PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

           On November 24, 2014, relator Jourdanton Hospital Corporation d/b/a South Texas

Regional Medical Center filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court’s

order denying its request to conduct an independent medical examination of a plaintiff in the

underlying medical negligence lawsuit. The court has considered relator’s petition for writ of

mandamus and is of the opinion that relator is not entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the

petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
