Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]

By petition for writ of mandamus, relators The Sekumade Law Firm and John-Baptist Sekumade complain that the trial judge abused her discretion by awarding certain costs against them, denying their motion for sanctions, and holding them in contempt for failure to comply with orders to pay costs. We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

All pending motions are dismissed as moot.

Per Curiam

Panel consists of Justices Higley, Massengale and Brown.
