IN RE: STEVEN L. HODGE

D/B/A H & M FARMS

On December 11, 2002, this court delivered an opinion conditionally granting the Petition for Writ of Mandamus filed by Stephen L. Hodge d/b/a H&M Farms as Relator. That opinion ordered Respondent to vacate its letter order signed on July 9, 2002 granting deemed admissions. Subsequently, on January 10, 2003, this court received an order from the trial court that complied with our order and opinion of December 11, 2002.

All issues attendant to this original proceeding having been disposed of, this mandamus proceeding has now been rendered moot; therefore, the writ need not issue. Accordingly, this original proceeding is dismissed.

Opinion delivered January 15, 2003.

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J. and Griffith, J.
