IN RE J. E. SAENZ & ASSOCIATES, INC.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus

And Emergency Motion for Stay of All Trial Court Proceedings.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam¹

            Relator, J. E. Saenz & Associates, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency motion for stay of all trial court proceedings in the above cause on October 19, 2010, seeking to compel the trial court to rule on relator’s “Motion to Dismiss with Prejudice” and “Motion to Stay all Proceedings.” Relator has now filed a motion to dismiss this proceeding on grounds that it is moot. 

            The Court, having examined and fully considered relator’s motion to dismiss, is of the opinion that relator has shown itself entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the motion to dismiss is GRANTED.  The petition for writ of mandamus and emergency motion for stay of all trial court proceedings are DISMISSED AS MOOT without prejudice.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

                                                                                                PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the

27th day of October, 2010.
