MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relators, Ensco Incorporated and Ensco Offshore Company, filed a petition

motion for summary judgment.1 In their mandamus petition, relators contended that

the trial court abused its discretion by denying their motion for summary judgment

1 The underlying case is Robert E. Buckley v. Ensco Incorporated and Ensco Offshore Company, Cause No. 2019-34430, in the 133rd District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Jaclanel McFarland presiding. regarding a purported Rule 11 agreement to settle the underlying lawsuit filed by

real party in interest, Robert E. Buckley. Relators requested that the Court grant

their mandamus petition, “command [the trial court] to vacate [its] [o]rder” denying

their summary-judgment motion, and “command [the trial court] to enter an [o]rder

granting [relators’] motion for summary judgment on [their] breach of contract

claim.”

We deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. Any pending motions are

dismissed as moot.
