COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Brett Duke and the Law Offices of Brett Duke, P.C. filed a petition seeking a writ of mandamus against the Honorable Javier Alvarez, Judge of the County Court at Law No. 3 of El Paso County in connection with Respondent’s denial of Relators’ motion to withdraw as counsel. Mandamus will lie only to correct a clear abuse of discretion. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992)(orig. proceeding). Moreover, there must be no other adequate remedy at law. Id. After the petition was filed, Respondent granted Relators’ motion to withdraw thereby rendering this original proceeding moot. Relators have filed a motion to dismiss the mandamus proceeding. We grant the motion and dismiss this original proceeding.
