Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relators, 987 Investments LLC, Tatonduk Outfitters, Ltd., doing business as Everts Air, Jajwk LP, Shadow Creek Estates Ltd., doing business as J Alan Kent Development, Julie W. Kent, James A. Kent, the Estate of Eli Rohl, and J.J. Reed, (collectively, “relators”), have filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, challenging the trial court’s “[o]rder denying [their] motion for independent medical examinations of” real parties in interest, Jason Berger and Rex Roediger.1 Relators have now filed a Notice of Withdrawal and Voluntary Dismissal of their petition for writ of mandamus, stating that “the trial court [had] signed [certain] agreed order[s] as to the [Texas] Rule [of Civil Procedure] 204.1 examination[s] of” Roediger and Berger.2 Relators assert that “entry of the[] agreed orders renders [their] [mandamus] [p]etition moot,” and thus, “they [request to] withdraw[] their [p]etition and agree to its voluntary dismissal.” See In re Jackson, No. 01-12-00020- CV, 2012 WL 405707, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 9, 2012, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (dismissing mandamus petition as moot after relator received relief requested); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Relators’ motion does not include a certificate of conference, but more than ten days have passed since the motion was filed, and no party has opposed the relief requested in the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2).

Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus. We dismiss any other pending motions as moot.

The underlying case is Rex Roediger and Jason Berger v. 987 Investments LLC, Tatonduk Outfitters, Ltd. d/b/a/ Everts Air, Jajwk, LP, Shadow Creek Estates, Ltd. doing business as J Alan Kent Development, Julie W. Kent, James A. Kent, Eli Rohl, and J.J. Reed, Cause No. 2022-08921, in the 189th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Tamika Craft-Demming presiding.

We treat relators’ Notice of Withdrawal and Voluntary Dismissal as a motion to dismiss their petition for writ of mandamus as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Landau, Countiss, and Guerra.
