In re Hartford Casualty insurance company, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relator, Hartford Casualty Insurance Company, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus, challenging the trial court’s order denying relator’s motion to compel appraisal and motion to stay proceedings pending appraisal.  While relator’s petition was pending, the underlying case was dismissed with prejudice because the parties reached a settlement.[1]  Relator informed the Court that it no longer seeks mandamus relief.   

Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. 

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Bland, and Massengale.
