Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-14-00856-CV IN RE Ropal ANDERSON, Gerald Busch and Hortencia Morales Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Delivered and Filed: February 4, 2015 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED AS MOOT Relators filed this petition for writ of mandamus on December 10, 2014, complaining of the trial court’s November order authorizing pre-suit depositions. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 202. On December 11, 2014, this court granted a temporary stay of the scheduled depositions and requested a response to the petition. The real party in interest filed a motion to dismiss the mandamus proceeding as moot on January 7, 2015, based on the trial court’s subsequent order vacating the order at issue in this proceeding. The respondent trial judge filed a similar motion to dismiss the proceeding as moot on January 14, providing a copy of his order which vacated the challenged order in its entirety.

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2014CI15046, styled In re Matthew Hileman, pending in the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable David A. Canales presiding.

04-14-00856-CV

We agree that the trial court’s subsequent order has rendered this mandamus proceeding moot. Accordingly, the motions to dismiss are granted and the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed as moot.
