First District of Texas

NO.   01-08-00744-CV

JON EDWARD ORECHIA, Appellant

V.

ARTHUR DINICOLANTONIO and

STEPHEN DINICOLANTONIO, Appellees

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 3

Galveston County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 56295

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this appeal, appellant Jon Edward Orechia sought reversal of the trial court’s grant of a temporary injunction in favor of brothers Arthur Dinicolantonio and Stephen Dinicolantonio, appellees.  On March 5, 2009, the same date as the appeal’s submission, the Dinicolantonios moved to stay the case on the basis that a jury trial had commenced.  On March 12, 2009, the jury issued a verdict in the case. 

In their unopposed motion to dismiss, the Dinicolantonios inform the Court that the trial court has signed a final judgment.[1]  Once the trial court signed the final judgment, the temporary injunction expired and no longer exists.  Jordan v. Landry's Seafood Restaurant, Inc., 89 S.W.3d 737, 741 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2002, pet denied).  The entry of final judgment thus rendered the appeal relating to the temporary injunction moot.  See Isuani v. Manske-Sheffield Radiology Group, P.A., 802 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991); Jordan, 89 S.W.3d at 741.

Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the cause as moot.  All other pending motions are also dismissed as moot.

Panel consists of Justices Bland, Sharp, and Taft.[2]
