MEMORANDUM OPINION
The court has considered relator's petition for writ of mandamus and motion for immediate temporary relief. The court is of the opinion that relief should be denied because an adequate remedy by appeal exists. See In re Schneider, 134 S.W.3d 866, 869-70 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2004, orig. proceeding); but see In re Woman's Hosp. of Tex., Inc., 141 S.W.3d 144, 152-53 (Tex. 2004) (Owen, J., concurring and dissenting) (stating no adequate remedy by appeal exists in cases filed prior to September 1, 2003). Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus and motion for immediate temporary relief are denied. See TEX.R.APP. P. 52.8(a). Relator shall pay all costs incurred in this proceeding.
