ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying petitioner class representatives' motion to intervene the underlying competing Minimum Wage Act (MWA) action in which real parties in interest have jointly moved for conditional certification of the same or a similar class for settlement purposes and preliminary approval of a proposed class settlement agreement. On August 29, 2018, petitioners submitted to this court a declaration and exhibits showing that, on August 21, 2018, the district court entered summary judgment in favor of the class in the MWA action in which

Although petitioners state that they are unsure how the judgment affects their request for writ relief since real parties in interest have not indicated whether they intend to continue pursuing class certification and settlement approval, we conclude that the judgment renders this petition moot and thus we dismiss it without prejudice. In that regard, the final judgment in the competing class action appears to obviate petitioners' reasons for seeking intervention, at least at this time, as the class claims have been resolved and real parties in interest may proceed differently in the underlying case. If petitioners still believe they should be allowed to intervene, they may file a renewed request to do so in district court addressing the change in the status of the class claims, and if denied, they may seek writ relief in this court, if warranted. Accordingly, we ORDER this petition DISMISSED.
