Carol Whitworth petitioned the Court of Appeals for a writ of mandamus to transfer her post-divorce child custody modification proceedings to the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana’s Tribal Court. The court denied the request for mandamus relief and lifted a temporary stay that had been imposed on December 12, 2011. Additionally, all pending motions related to the case were dismissed as moot. The panel included Justices Keyes, Bland, and Sharp, and the underlying case referenced is In re K.K.L.C., a child, No. 2000-64428, presided over by Judge Judy Warne in the 257th District Court of Harris County, Texas.
