In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-23-00766-CV ——————————— IN RE DEREK N. T. MOORE, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Derek N. T. Moore, filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging

two trial court orders, including a July 5, 2021 order granting summary judgment in

favor of real party in interest, Ana Navarro, and an October 9, 2023 order denying

relator’s motion for reconsideration of the July 5, 2021 order granting summary judgment.1 Relator requested that the Court direct the trial court to vacate the

October 9, 2023 order denying reconsideration which “found that the [July 5, 2021]

[s]ummary [j]udgment [o]rder [was a] final judgment,” and to further “vacate the

[July 5, 2021] [s]ummary [j]udgment [o]rder or otherwise reconsider it on remand.”

We deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We dismiss any pending

motions as moot.
