IN RE JACOBS FIELD SERVICES NORTH AMERICA, INC., JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC., JACOBS ENGINEERING, INC., AND NORWEST HYDRAULIC & PNEUMATIC, INC., Relators

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 61st District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2015-27771 MEMORANDUM OPINION On December 1, 2017, relators Jacobs Field Services North America, Inc., Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., Jacobs Engineering, Inc., and NorWest Hydraulic & Pneumatic, Inc. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West Supp. 2017); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relators ask this Court to compel the Honorable Fredericka Phillips, presiding judge of the 61st District Court of Harris County, to set aside her December 1, 2017 orders (1) granting real parties in interest’s motion to exclude relators’ witnesses; and (2) denying relators’ motion for continuance.

Relators filed an unopposed motion to dismiss their petition because the parties have settled the case. The requested relief is now moot. Therefore, the motion is GRANTED.

Accordingly, relators’ petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed.

Relators’ motion for temporary relief is denied as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Brown, and Wise.
