Syllabus

Mandamus case-management hearing inherent authority to control docket judicial discretion. A trial court possesses the inherent authority and discretion to control its own docket. In addition, mandamus may not be employed to control judicial discretion, even if that judicial discretion is grossly abused. Since the trial court judge is under no clear legal duty to conduct a case-management hearing, relief in mandamus is not available to compel the trial court judge to conduct a case-management hearing.
