IN RE ONEOK ARBUCKLE LAND CO., RELATOR

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          On April 27, 2009, relator, ONEOK Arbuckle Land Co. (“ONEOK”), filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial judge’s March 31, 2009 order granting the plea in abatement of the real part in interest, Placid Refining Co., L.L.C. (“Placid”). ONEOK also filed a “Motion for Expedited Relief,” which the Court denied by order dated April 29, 2009. Relator has since provided this Court with a certified copy of an order signed by the trial judge on April 30, 2009, which vacated his March 31 abatement order of which relator complains in this proceeding. The original proceeding became moot with the signing of the April 30 order. Relator has since filed a motion to dismiss its mandamus petition.

          We grant relator’s motion to dismiss and dismiss this original proceeding as moot. Any other pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Taft and Sharp.
