Relator In Re State Farm Lloyds filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code §22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to order the Honorable Mike D.

compelling production of irrelevant and burdensome discovery and it has no adequate remedy by appeal.

Relator also filed a motion for a temporary stay of the trial court’s order. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. On June 27, 2013, this court granted the motion and issued a stay of the June 24, 2013, order pending our consideration of this proceeding.

On August 26, 2013, relator advised this court that that the real parties-ininterest filed a notice of non-suit in the underlying case, rendering this proceeding moot. Relator asks that we dismiss its petition, and we grant relator’s request. Accordingly, our stay order is vacated, and we order this proceeding dismissed as moot.
