in Re: City of Dallas ( 2021 )

DISMISS and Opinion Filed October 22, 2021
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00222-CV
IN RE CITY OF DALLAS, Relator
Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 1
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-19-00776-A
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Goldstein
Opinion by Justice Osborne
Relator’s April 7, 2021 petition for writ of mandamus challenges the trial
court’s order compelling relator to produce the personal cell phone records of one of
its employees. In its October 20, 2021 motion to dismiss the original proceeding,
relator advises us that there is no longer a dispute over the production of the personal
cell records at issue because the parties have reached settlement and the trial court
has signed a final order dismissing real party in interest’s claims with prejudice.
Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the petition. See In re Evans, 581
S.W.3d 431, 434 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 2019, orig. proceeding) (dismissing
petition for writ of mandamus because matter had become moot). We also lift the
stay issued by our April 8, 2021 order.
