IN RE EVAN JOHNSTON AND ADRIANA AKHTAR, Relators

Original Proceeding from the 14th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-00476

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Partida-Kipness, and Justice Smith Opinion by Chief Justice Burns Before the Court is relators’ motion to dismiss their mandamus petition.

Relators state the controversy described in their mandamus petition—a dispute over

discovery matters—has been mooted by the trial court’s final summary judgment

order disposing of their claims. See In re Alexis, No. 05-97-01916-CV, 1998 WL

564933, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Sept. 8, 1998, orig. proceeding) (not designated

for publication) (“The entry of final judgment renders this mandamus dispute over

pre-trial discovery motions moot.”). Therefore, relators move to dismiss their

pending petition for mandamus relief. We grant relators’ motion and dismiss this original proceeding.
