In re STATE FARM LlOYDS, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          On September 12, 2011, relator, State Farm Lloyds, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.*  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.  Relator also filed a motion for temporary stay, which was granted.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.10. 

          On November 23, 2001, the parties filed a joint motion to abate the original proceeding on the ground that the parties were in the process of settling the underlying case.  The motion was granted, and the original proceeding was abated. 

          Relator has now filed an unopposed motion to reinstate the original proceeding and dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus because the underlying case has been settled.  The motion is granted. 

          Accordingly, the original proceeding is reinstated, the temporary stay is lifted, and the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed. 

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Jennings and Higley.
