First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-20-00863-CV ——————————— IN RE ADVANTAGE CARS.COM D/B/A STERLING MCCALL HYNDAI, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Advantage Cars.com d/b/a Sterling McCall Hyundai ( “Advantage”),

has filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that our Court compel the

Honorable Ursula Hall, presiding judge of the 165th District Court of Harris County,

to rule on Advantage’s Motion for Leave to Designate Responsible Third Party,

Advantage’s No-Evidence Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, and Advantage’s Traditional Motion for Summary Judgment.1 On the same day the petition was filed,

Judge Hall issued an order granting Advantage’s motion for leave to designate

responsible third parties, an order denying Advantage’s traditional motion for

summary judgment, and an order denying Advantage’s no-evidence motion for

summary judgment.

Because Judge Hall has ruled on Advantage’s motions, the petition for writ of

mandamus is dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Goodman and Farris.
