Sandill presiding. motion to stay the discovery order pending our decision on the mandamus petition.

On April 20, 2023, our Court issued an order granting relators’ stay motion and

requested a response to the mandamus petition. On the same day, however, relators

informed our Court that the trial court issued an amended order mooting the issues

raised in their mandamus petition and the related stay motion.2

Accordingly, we dismiss this original proceeding as moot and withdraw our

April 20, 2023 order.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Landau, and Rivas-Molloy.

2 Relators subsequently filed a mandamus petition challenging the amended discovery order. Relators’ challenge to the amended discovery remains pending in In re Nancy Pressler and H. Paul Pressler III, Case No. 01-23-00304-CV (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.]). Our Court granted a stay of the amended discovery order pending our determination on the mandamus petition. 2
