Thompson v. Honorable Eddy Coleman

The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals declining to issue a writ sought by Miki Thompson prohibiting the trial court from enforcing discovery orders entered for inspection and discovery in a wrongful death and negligence action pending in the circuit court. The court of appeals found that Thompson failed to show irreparable injury without the writ or the existence of facts sufficient to justify issuance of the writ under the special-case exception. In affirming, the Supreme Court held that the court of appeals did not err in concluding that complying with the trial court’s orders will not lead to an irreparable injury for Thompson or that the writ must issue under the special-case exception.
