IN RE UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD’S, LONDON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

11th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2010-39544

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            On April 6, 2011, relator, Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov’t Code §22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.  In its petition, relator asked that this court direct the trial court to grant its motion to compel appraisal of the underlying insurance claim and abate the proceedings pending completion of the appraisal.  On May 11, 2011, relator filed a motion to dismiss its petition.  In the motion, relator asserts that the parties have reached an agreement concerning the appraisal and stay of the trial court proceedings.  Accordingly, the issues in its petition have been rendered moot.

            Therefore, we grant relator’s motion and order the petition for writ of mandamus dismissed.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Seymore and Boyce.
