In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-20-00660-CV

IN RE BLAKE REYNOLDS, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 471st Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 471-00064-2018

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Myers, Molberg, and Evans Opinion by Justice Myers Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus dated July 8, 2020 in which he

complains of the trial court’s order granting real party in interest’s motion to strike

the jury demand. It came to our attention that the trial court had entered summary

judgment disposing of the case. Thus, we asked the parties to file letter briefs

addressing whether relator’s request for mandamus relief is now moot.

Before the Court is a September 14, 2020 letter from relator’s counsel asking

us to “withdraw” the mandamus petition from this Court’s consideration, because he

agrees that it is moot. We will treat this letter as a motion to dismiss the original proceeding. Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the original proceeding.
